With this issue the second volume of 

 The Alumni Journal closes. In look- 

 ing through the pages of the last volume 

 it is gratifying to see the new interest 



awakened in the affairs of the Alumni 

 Association and the College. That the 

 Journal has been a potent factor in 

 bringing this to pass does not admit of a 

 doubt. It has revived and kept alive 

 old associations among members, aroused 

 enthusiasm and been a means of draw- 

 ing the members together upon a 

 broader and more comprehensive foot- 

 ing. The interest awakened by the 

 Alumni lectures has been the means of 

 bringing together many members of the 

 Association and College who are, com- 

 paratively speaking, strangers to its 

 walls. The last lecture in particular, 

 by Prof. Rusby, was delivered to an 

 audience which taxed the seating ca- 

 pacity of the lecture hall to its utmost. 



The Association is to be congratulated 

 upon the success thus far of its lecture 

 course, and the remainder of the lec- 

 tures scheduled will no doubt prove as 

 interesting and as attractive as those 

 which have been thus far delivered. It 

 is also gratifying to be able to chronicle 

 the growth of the subscription list of the 

 Journal, and to feel that the critical 

 part of its career has passed and that its 

 success is firmly established. During 

 the past year its original articles have 

 been quoted, and in several cases re- 

 printed in full in other journals. It is 

 particularly gratifying to the present 

 editor, who assumed control of the paper 

 when interest in its welfare was at an 

 ebb, and who now feeling that the 

 Journal has no longer any need of his 

 services, an whose duties have so 

 largely increased as to prevent him 

 giving the time which the Journal de- 

 mands, reluctantly resigns his position, 

 trusting that some one better fitted than 

 he,and with more time at his disposal , will 

 carry the good work forward and place 

 the Journal on a higher plane than it 

 has yet reached.
