DIME AKCIE, y 3 (Nh (yy, ff ‘i “QMETIME during the history of man, some wisdom- NU 4 a . sh laden mortal rose up in the greatness of his knowledge and charity, and opened the portals which led to his priceless store of learning, by writing a book. He probably didn’t hustle much for advertisments, nor was he closely pursued by the agents of rival publishing houses, all of which being irrelevant to the subject need not be further focussed by this soul-stirring analysis. To adopt the arbitrary methods of assumption so dear to the hearts of expounders of mathematical lore, we will assume that, as his style merrily dragged the juice of the oak gall over the crisp papyrus, he occasionally chuckled inwardly, and said, ‘‘ Verily has no man yet done such a stunt as this,” or words to that effect. Giving ear to his speech it occurred to this benefactor that his actions in writing a book being somewhat irregu- lar, the public might demand an explanation; so he formulated a proper exposition of the facts of the case, prefixed it to the great work, and within a month his creation was in every prominent library of the civilized world. Since that dawn of literary progress, and presumably in conform- ity with the precedent established by this ancient scribe, it has been quite the proper thing for authors of books, both great and small, to preface their subject matter with a short discussion tending to palliate the crime of afflicting humanity with their journalistic offspring. The Board of Tur Link of 1894, in presenting this artistic and literary treasure to the students and friends of the Institute, have no apologies to make, no excuses to offer. We regret that many will be guilty of heartless criticism, but the absurdity of such a course will be at once apparent to the well-balanced majority, and it is confidently expected that public approval will silence all ridicule long before the first edition is disposed of. We sincerely hope that our radical departure, in bringing the book out while the events chronicled are still fresh in your retentive memories, may not lessen its value as an ancient history out of proportion to the gain derived from ‘‘up to date= features, Other regrets and hopes crowd upon us, but why harrow you with tales of our suffering when you are longing to plunge into the precious stores beyond. 6
