Oftentimes Wellesley's intense individuality has laid her open to the charge of nar- rowness, so that it is with sincerely hearty congratulations we recognize her new departure in the broad field of college interests. Perhaps no better sign of the times can be oflered than the brief, but truly successful, history ot the reorganized societies, Phi Sigma and Zeta Alpha. A year ago they had but their names, a background of reminiscence, and a future of ideals. To-day, ^yith only the year's slight experi- ence, their influence and success are assured, and their future is even more hopeful in the promise of developing true fraternity feeling, and a fine womanhood as its upholder. Material evidence of their real prosperity may be found any da^ in Society Hall. While the Class of "90 has, without doubt, taken to itself much pride in the regeneration of the Greek-letter Societies, '91 has done the College a desirable and lasting service in empha- sizing college unity, rather than class distinction, bv the adoption of the '90 pin as a design for the College badge. Other proof of the change from individual to more general interests is not wanting. The institution of the College cheer, the organization of the College Glee and Banjo Clubs, and the hearty student support of the "Prelude" editors, mark a signal advance. In the publication of the Legexda, also, the editors have more than once been honestly gratified by the appreciative co-operation of the College at large. It has served to make the work simpler, and. we believe the result will be more enjoyable. There is evolution in the making of college publications as in all things else, and we trust we are not untlulv priding ourselves in the thought that this year's Le(;exda 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 hook will be recognized, we believe, without our comment. It is a matter of most cordial satisfaction to us, as it must be to many others, that dragons in persona are no longer a feature of the institution. To the discrimination and suc- cess of 'S9, 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 sinceritv we hope that we have not violated the confidence reposed in us ; that that the we have in no wise periled to future classes the privilege we have enjoyed ; and judgment we have exercised has been at all times sound and kindly, never prudish. From many members of the Class of '90 the editors have received valued assistance. In particular we desire to recognize the work of Miss Martha Pike Conant, Z A, quondam associate editor, and the aid of Miss Charlotte E. Halsey, A. S., Miss Mabel Doolittle, and Mi.ss Sarah M. Rock, S. S. ^ (^ONTENTS ^ PAGE AD\"ERTISKMKXTS OFFICERS OF GO\'ERNMENT AND INSTRUC- ASSOCIATIONS TION II Board of Trustees and Visitors 12 Christiiin Association ....
