Beginning with this number the 2nd year of the Gray Jacket's existence, a few reflections upon the past and a glance at the future may not be inappropriate. Our pathway has not been strewn with flowers, and if we have received encouragement and a helping hand from some, others have given us only criticism and detraction.

For those whose encouragement and aid has brought us hope in our darkest hours, we invoke the kindest smiles of heaven. Kind friends, may God's own glorious sunlight ever make your future bright and healthful.

For those who have not hitherto been our friends, we feel no enmity. We say to them "Let the past be dead and in the future lend us your assistance." We know that we have faults. Aid us then rather to correct than seek to exaggerate our short comings.

We return our sincerest thanks to our patrons for their favors in the past, and hope to make the Gray Jacket still more worthy of their patronage in the future. With the next number, the Gray Jacket will be greatly enlarged, and much improved.

We appeal to our fellow students and our friends everywhere for their earnest aid and co-operation.

We are sure that our fellow students can find nothing more beneficial to them than time devoted to contributing to our columns. Give us then, one and all, your aid, and remember that we are attempting, at least, to do something for our college, our societies, and for the cause of self culture.
