THE BRIC: ITS HISTORY In a very much involved sentence, the editors of the '88 Bric announce the pur- pose of its publication. It seems to have been two-fold, to furnish an opportunity for practice in the art of composition, and to tickle the vanity of parents and- others, not mentioned because of the bashfulness of the editors. Since that time, the book has been published annually with but two excep- tions, 1897 and 1903. In 1897 there seems to have been no adequate reason for the failure, but in 1903 the confusion incident to the change of location on the part of the school, so interferred with the mental equilibrium as to defeat the few feeble attempts of the editors to tread in the steps of their predecessors. At first the Editorial Board was chosen by the junior class from among their own number. This method of election was abandoned in 1892, in which year the Senior class assumed the duty of publishing the annual. Since that year, the Boards have been chosen in a rather irregular manner. In some years by the juniors, in others by the Seniors, and in still others by the whole school. As a result of the election, usually one man was chosen to edit and two to manage the business end of the book, although it was expected that the actual work of compo- sition should be done, at first by the entire class, and in later years, by the whole school. The contents of the book, from the early days to this last issue, have been so much alike in character that the reader need only look over this book to obtain a fair notion of what the previous books were like. The book, in spite of the uncer- tain utterance of the Hrst Board, referred to above, was intended as a record of the school. In maintaining that character through succeeding years it has perhaps seemed to lack spice and variety. If, however, it' has served to reiiect the life of the school it has fulfilled its purpose. ' The book this year is of a more pretentious appearance. The cloth cover and multitude of cuts betoken a prosperity unsurpassed in the history of the Bric. They are also silent witnesses to the school spirit which deserves' all the credit for their being. May the editors in years to come profit by this example.
