Science and Engineering, and our call for representative plates was heartily responded to by them. The board, at the advice of a Professor, decided to abandon the scientific and technical articles, and to confine the literary department to a few lighter articles, believing that the purpose of a college annual is to acquaint the students with their own university, rather than to instruct them in the subjects which strictly belong in the Technograph. A number of cash prizes were offered for contributions, but there were few responses. In some instances not an article was received, notably for the prizes offered for short stories. We hope there will be a more hearty response for literary productions in succeeding annuals.

T h e Business Management wishes t<» thank their fellow-students for the generous response with which demands for financial aid have been met. Business men have generally refused to extend their advertising lists, and those who have favored us have done so reluctantly. T h e almighty dollar is generally elusive, but in this year of financial unrest it is unusually so. We desire to call the attention of our readers to the ADVKKTISKMKNTS in this book. T h e firms here represented are the LKADING MKKCHANTS in their lines in the Twin Cities. T h e y are deserv# ing of your patronage, and we bespeak courteous treatment whenever you visit their places of business.
