Book Description
Excerpt from The Wellesley Legenda, 1890 There is evolution in the making 'of college publications as in all things else, and we trust we are not unduly priding ourselves in the thought that this year's legenda evidences the universal truth. Certainly there has been enough of progress within the college walls to show its character in the college annual. The novel features and the beauty of the book will be recognized, we believe, without our comment. It is a matter of most cordial satisfaction to us, as it must be to manv others, that dragons z'zz persona are no longer a feature of the institution. To the discrimination and suc cess of '89, we feel that this emancipation is in a measure due, and accordingly render our warmest thanks with whatever of annual fruit '89 may find Sprung up from the lusty seed she sowed. In all sincerity we hope that we have not violated the confidence reposed in us; that we have in no wise periled to future classes the privilege we have enjoyed; and that the judgment we have exercised has been at all times sound and kindly, never prudish.
