Excerpt from Legenda, 1891 One thing, however, we must beg our critical readers to keep in mind that is, the great disadvantage under which the Editorial Board has labored in losing their first choice for editor-in-chief, Miss May West, Z A. Though Miss West was able to lay careful plans for this issue of the legenda, and allowed to see the materialization of many of them, she was obliged to resign her position early in the history of the' Board and leave numerous details to be worked out by her successor. Much as this loss must be felt by those who turn the pages of our book, the editors have felt it far more, and take this Opportunity to express their regret for its necessity, as well as their appreciation of the careful forethought that has made the path so much smoother for her successor. From the contemplation of our private troubles, we turn to voice the sentiment of our class in its outcry against Fate, that she, regardless of our entreaties and our tears, chose this year to enforce the absence of our College President.
