...gilt edges; it will be printed on heavy paper, the pictures will be rearranged and some new ones added; and the advertisements - including the steel engraving of the Riverside Press - will be left out. At the end of the book will be placed a list of the present and past members of the Class of '78, together with the societies, clubs, and associations to which each member belonged during his Senior year; also the Commencement and Class Day programmes.

Meanwhile the College has been fortunate in securing the services of Mr. George Riddle to fill...
