PREFACE. T is right that succeeding magnates should pay gracious hom- ' ' age to their predecessors. It is right that '9o's editors should emulate our labor and its ends. If it were within the remotest range of possibilities we would make humble courtesy to the edit- ors of last year's college book. But since their lamentable vacuity of intellect has been so vividly portrayed to us, we must, perforce, revert to other ages, and we do. It is the figure of the classic Rumor which shall bear our l'I'lCSSZtgCS,- A monstrous phantom, horrible and vast. As many plumes as raise her lofty flight So many piercing eyes enlarge her sight. Millions of opening mouths to Fame belong And every mouth is furnished with a tongue. She spreads through trembling crowds, disastrous news. Things done relatesg not done, she feigns, and mingles truth with lies. Talk is her businessg and her chief delight To tell of prodigies and cause affrightf' Perhaps our bold speech shall react and cause the monster's evil presence to wreak its rage on us. But be that as it will. Humanity has tempered the wrath of Fame, and our pfzmzes have withheld much that our eyes have rested on in sorrow. Our opening mouths have closed with kindly speechlessness and our tongues have ceased. If we disturb the peace of mind of any, let that one regard himself, see whether of him the monstrous phantom has said truth or lie. Talk was our business, and prodigies we've told. The pure and right need never fam' Fame's vengeance 5 and it is with the hope that no one, even censurable, has felt her blasting breath more hotly than he can bear, that we say to the product of our labor, Go forth, OLIO, into the world.
