PREFACE. Ever since the publication of the last OLIO, we have been striving in vain to understand the misau d'6lrc for its biographical sketches, its History of Amherst College, and its long extract from an old Cefzlmjy ZVfagazz'm'. In the preparation of this book our constant aim has been : I. To restore the junior Annual to its old-time position of Collage Clmw' and Crz'lz'r, faithfully reflecting theilast faint flickering of the reckless and irresponsible Sophomoric spirit 5 2. To grind, irrespective of age, sex, or previous condition of servitude 5 3. To preserve a strict impartiality in grinding the two adjacent classes, realizing the fact that '90 fails as completely to fill the place of a Senior class as ,92 does that of a Sophomoreg 4. To handle the Freshmen with tender sympathy, in the hope that they will give B500 to the base-ball team next spring, 5. To bring into the compass of a single moderate volume an adequate treatment of the countless pranks of a college year. The innovations in the Art of Grinding sufficiently explain themselves. The authorities most constantly consulted in the preparation of this work are Dinner-Table Gossip and Amherst Wind-bags, by McFadden the Youngerg Contemporary College Chumps, by Zeb Durand, and Horses That Have Helped Me, by A. S. Cooley. With this brief statement the volume is respectfully committed into the hands of professors and students. In conclusion we wish to express our grateful acknowledgments to Moxy, Cooley, Hicks, and Senftner, without whom the undertaking would probably never have been executed. THE EDITORS.
