of sophomore boyishness and now wears the garb of upperclassmen as if it was brought up to it. Ninety Two has profited by the ti-aining they received last year, and thus far have made a fair appearance as Sophomores, and to their credit have abolished hazing. Though the college has received no showers of money, it has received several gratifying gifts from alumni and others who still appreciate the needs of old Bowdoin. The Library has undergone extensive alterations which have increased its capacity and convenience. The curriculum has been enlarged giving the student still more latitude in his choice of electives. Notable among the events of the present college year has been the successful organization of a foot ball eleven, and our record is one of which we may well be proud ; out of five games played only one defeat, and that by only four points. 4 to S, 44 to o, 62 to o, iS to 10, 24 to o.. Certainly there is nothing in that collection of scores to make a Bowdoin man ashamed of our first season. Our Glee and Banjo Clubs have reorganized a° ain, though not as large as last year, contain good material, and are prepared to present the musical side of Bowdoin life to a paying public. Finallv the Bugle wishes to speak a word for itself. It has been the aim of the editors to place in this book what a college annual should contain, that is, a list of all the societies and organizations existing in col- lege, and for the enlightenment of strangers and the interest of the alumni we have compiled the Memorabilia Bowdoinensia, which we trust will be continued by succeeding boards, and that where we, from lack of informa- tion , have made mistakes or omissions, they may correct and supplement. By way of relieving ' the monotony of statistics, we have served them up with jokes and slugs, which may in the present, serve the useful purpose which underlies the fun. and in after years recall to the boys as they turn the pages, the little incidents of college life, perhaps forgotten, and bring up before them the well known forms and features of the Bowdoin boys of their time. We would extend our most hearty thanks to all who have aided us in the arduous duties involved in get- ting out this volume, and particularly those who have furnished us with cuts. The success of such a publication as this depends in no small measure upon its advertisements. We can most heartily endorse the firms which have advertised with us, and solicit for them the support from the students and friends that they deserve. We would express our obligations to Messrs. Mitchell Bickford of Portland the printers to whose taste and untiring interest the excellent appearance of this book is due. (3)
