6 TIIE AMHERST COLLEGE OLIO. Resolved, That two members of the Board be chosen by ballot to compile from original sources a History of tl1e Amherst College 01.10 from its inauguration to its present grand cul- mination: primarily, for the use of the Board, secondarily, for the instruction of the College 77 world' Accordingly, after six months of wearisome and confining labor in sifting and verifying original manuscripts, the two historians 7.w.b' of the Board, with a realizing sense of the impossibility of any merely human labor being absolutely accurate, do pre- sent the following Outlines of the History of the Amherst College OLIO. The small grain of mustard seed from which the noble branches of the 01.10 were to spring was the College Dial, a four-page news- Superh uma n 7f2'?'Cff!4Z're paper sheet which was termed in the College Records' the DMI. 3 Undergraduate Catalogue. This tender little seedling was, however, frozen out by the bitter frosts of undergraduate indi- gence and penuriousness. Eight years later it was revived and issued under the suggestive and euphonious title of the Amherst College OLlO.H At great expense we have procured a photographic reproduction of A TW this first Junior Annual tFig. 11.1 This OL10, interesting as it is MIIIERST to the antiquarian, has little intrinsic worth, as it is merely a care- less compilation of the various college organizations. As we ex- amine this poor, miserable, insignihcant sheet, with its meager statistics and its two wretched doggerel poems, we see no promise of the mag- nificent volumes which were to appear thirty years later under the same name. 57 The third Undergraduate Catalogue appeared under 7-he Auraml the inflated and bombastic title of the Amherst Aurora. But the new name did not go down jlj with the simple coun- try students, and the following year witnessed tl1e restoration of the historic title which has since attained perennial fame. This '60 OLIO contained a handsome illustratio11 of the college buildings, which at that time suggestively corresponded with the number of Co1.1.1zG12 OL10, Orlaber, 1855. 18.

T Great thanks are due to Mr. l letcher, I.ibra1'ian of Amherst College, for his lllOllgllll'lll courtesy in allowing access to the otiicial files. I11 view of tl1is courtesy we regret the insertion of Mr. Fletcher-'S name on subsequent pages of this publication. 1 'l'l1is expression is perhaps permissible because of tl1e local coloring it gives to tl1c narrative.
