IO Indoor athletics in the shape of draw poker have flourished extensively this year. Free capital seems to be unlimited and its circulation unrestricted. Univer- sity Hall was reported to be the stronghold of this amusement last term, but Slater Hall has borne away the palm of late. We deprecate the prevalence of I. O. U's. and a paper game, claiming that such a game is always demoralizing. We have but two bits of advice to give : stick to a cash game and remember the dictum of our con- temporary, the Bru7z0m'an- Sporting men always keep their mouths shut. Please notice that we have omitted to grind the Faculty to any extent this year. The Faculty are doing good work and we wish to applaud, rather than to discourage them. We had a notion to touch up Fisher a little but took pity on him. If it causes any surprise that we have taken the trouble to roast Lou Lincoln, we desire to say that the college unanimously requested it or we would have devoted the space to some- thing else. Of course the Editors have received considerable advice during the year. Bobby Taft has suggested that we grind only the most prominent men and we have so far fallen in with his ideas as to let him go unground. I7 We desire to express our obligation to our genial Librarian, Dr. Guild, for his contribution prepared with so much care. The thanks of the board are also due to Mr. E. B. Bird, our illustrator, for the interest he has taken in the preparation of the book. A In closing we beg our readers not to pass by the preface but to bear in mind the words of Dean Swift: Read all the prefaces of Dryden, For these the critics much confide in, Though only writ at first for filling, To raise the volume's price a shilling.
