WE ARE NOT going to waste much of our space or your time in outlining purposes and intentions with regard to the conduct of this department during the coming year. Our column will have to speak for itself. Of course we have a few private resolutions to live up to, one of them being to avoid use of the word "bicycle" in connection with house-party discussions. But we better not mention any more. There are enough rash promises in the air nowadays without our meagre few from way out here on the edge of the puddle.

Speaking of words, "Dartmouth" was one of the first two-syllable words we learned to pronounce, and ever since then Dartmouth has been one of our greatest interests. A year of working out in the world during the midst of our college career has changed the picture of Dartmouth for us considerably. We see things in it which we didn't see clearly before, and that hazy life in the "outer world" after college is not quite so vague and unconnected. It is with the greatest of pleasure that we begin our attempt to report Dartmouth in 1935 as the undergraduate sees it.
