editors ' Preface. In sending forth MuuticalK, Volume Two, the editors realize as fully as ■any one how inadequately it represents our iarreat University. But as ' apol ogy is only egotism wrong side out, they hes itate even to confess its faults and imijerfections. They would however ask those ci-itically inclined to reuieiuber that this volume is a product of moments snatched when they could be spared, when tlie call to lessons seemed imperative, and when the minds of the editors were disconcerted, and thoughts confused by the ghosts of unlearned tasks pacing a solemn beat before their eyes. This sac- rifice of time and labor they cheerfully make if their product pleases those who have generally assisted them, and in some degree subserves the inter- ests of the W. V. U. Then if in after years, when the pleasures of college life shall have been superseded by the grave resijonsibilities of life ' s duties, when images of classmates, friends and chums shall have grown dim on the walls of memory ' s great art gallery, if then this volume shall cause the reader to live again these pleasant days, to remember again the faces here- in imaged, the editors will feel that another ambition has been gratified and that their work has not been in vain.
