The greatest trial of courage for them usually comes when it is whispered among the knowing ones that in the forthcoming issue of the Annual—to distinguish it from previous issues and as a means of dealing a decisive blow at all manner of rapscallionry—the perpetrators of untimely pranks, the heroes of thrilling escapades, snipe hunters, fountain artists, peeping Toms, “escaladers. and such ilk. are to be given their deserts. There is immediately a grand rush of the malefactors or their friends for the sanctum sanctorum of the Annual staff. Their little jokes were played in the dark of the moon, you know: they want to keep them dark, for they are afraid of the light. The pleas put forth, the eloquence displayed, and even the tears (crocodilus vulgaris) shed by the trembling delinquents, would turn a veteran barrister green with envy, could he witness these acts behind the scenes. What is the editor to do? Kcho gives the answer, “to do! if he have the necessary stamina and resolution. More often than “doing it. however, he relents, in the goodness of his heart, and tills the space that should have contained a scathing account of the “joke with—buttermilk or some other innocent and harmless condiment. Everybody connected, even in the remotest way. with the student lx dy of the institution expects to find his or her name on the printed page of the Annual. Xanies alone would not do. however, else the Annual would degenerate into a mere catalogue or almanac. Something must Ik predicated of each subject or there will be dissatisfaction and complaint. Good is always given the preference. and good will be predicated where good can be found, lint where this greatly revered and desirable quality is not present, or present only in microscopically small quantities, practically negligible, something else will have to take up the space, of course. Aye. there's the rub! It has been said long ago. but is surprisingly true even in this day and age. that every man is the architect of his own fortune: so that, if one of his ambitions be to stand well in the estimation of his fellow citizens and to Ik favorably remembered by after generations, he has but to square his actions with this his ambition. After all. this is the only course worth while: the world cares for no other. The antics of the clown and the buffooneries of the harlequin may have the ear and eye of a thoughtless multitude for a while, but they soon grow stale and unprofitable. Therefore, for vour own g x d and for the sake of setting a worthy example for those less fortunately situated than you. put your heart into serious work and do your best—do it better than any one else ever did it. and you need not worry about getting it into the Annual or any other publication: for the recorder of facts will hear of it and come to your door to get the particulars, which the world will be glad and eager to peruse and will be the better for it. Our acts our angels are. or good or ill. Our fateful shadows that walk by us still. Professor Frederick Pkrtchtoi.ii. [10]
