Presentation Some years ago, as a party of Wesleyans were roaming the high mountains a shrill voice came ringing out on the still autumn breezes. All amazed, stopped to hear its message and lo! that voice said Hear the murmur of the brook as it ripples down the valleys and by the grassy plots to join the brimming river. See the beautiful river as it rushes on to join the ocean current. Behold the grandeur of the vales and dells and the gentleness of the mountain breezes as they speak to each of you. When you come to the end of your journey you may tell what each of you have heard and seen. When all had returned there was a silence and then, one after another, told his story. All these stories were col- lected into one volume and thus from the echoes of that which we all may see each day the first MURMURMONTIS was built. And so in this, our MURMURMONTIS, we have gathered what the balmy breezes have wafted our way, col- lections many of whose fruits Wesleyans alone can prize. If then, thru this volume, nature has deemed it well to blow to you any of the good fellowship, the deep feelings and sincere regards that have always animated our college life since that voice spoke, we shall feel that our efforts have not been in vain, that we truly have brought to you the Murmur of the Mountains.
