r7 BEETGAWBN. RIENDLESS, forlorn, God-forsaken mob as MAKIO Boards always are, the present one is no exception. No patient, loving wife, or dear friend here claims recognition for assistance rendered as. Love of the Faculty, or self-adulation is not to be looked for here. But one friend we have who has done much to elevate our intellectual, social, and moral being; who has set us above the common herd; who has taken us from the Barbarian into the Greek. To the Royal Bumper whose tender mercies were over us all along the journey to fratland, this book is affectionately dedicated.

1 LJ ,-- EthllTEGRlAh. 0 NOT think, oh, gentle readeriif any such should read this book, for we fear that the readers. of thc MARIO will not re- main gentle, but that those who peruse these pages will at times rage with anger at the innocent Editors for the faithful perform- ance of their duty to portray those characters in our college life that need correction, and will at times be transported With laugh- ter at some trifling remarks that we makeedo not think, oh reader, gentle or boisterous, as you may be, when you see the sun obscured and darkness cast all athwart the blue empyreanedo not think the end of the world is come, not strain your ears to catch the toot of Gabriells horn, but bethink yourself that the cause of the darkening of the day,s great luminary is simply the rising of a greater light, the annual reflection of the MAGIC MIRROR throwing back the rays from the illustrious stars of O. S. U. In order, as high authorities have admonished us, to 'l make the book a credit to the institution, to its ofhcers, and to ourselves, we will endeavor to present the true inwardness of the life at the University, and to show the workings of the powers that guide our destinies. 'To show things as they are is better than to tell what they should be, for exposure of mistakes may help to correct them. The prime mistake is that Ohio refuses to support a State Um? versz'zjl. Oh, that we were a worn out canal, or a mismanaged prison! For the good but insufhcient appropriation that public outcry compelled the Legislature finally to make, we are duly grateful. It is a mistake to degrade the professors to the position of menials by annual elections at but moderate salaries, and conse- quently to fill up the faculty with second-rate instructors, a pro- cess already begun in several departments. We are grateful, however, to see indication of a change in this regard; that an important chair which has for two years been in the hands of an assistant, is to be filled by a professor, and that other needed in- structors are to be added to the Faculty.
