8 we reply that they are very welcome. The board have, however, with deep regret seen during the present year a case of sad neglect. It was neglect of that most pre- cious of all things, opportunity. The four class-historians declined to perform their functions. You remember those lines that say- There is a tide in the affairs of men that taken at the Hood leads on to fortune, but, neglected, all one's after life is bound in shallows and in misery. Possibly that is not quoted correctly. Well, never mind. You know what we mean. We fear that this is an illustration of the case in hand. They had their opportunity, they had their Hood-tide given to them gratuitously, free, for nothing, and who knows how many Libers would have gone with it without extra charge? But no, Brown's undergraduate Prescotts and Bancrofts died in the shell, and so it remains the melancholy duty of the Liber Board to consign them to the shal- lows and misery above referred to. It occurs to us that an introduction to a Liber is necessarily superfiuous, as every student probably reads the introduction the very last thing, but still it may be our part to preface our volume with a wholesale lot of expressions of sympathy, condolence and congratulation to such students as may desire these various commodities, and it is cer- tainly our pleasure to thank those who have assisted us in making this book what it is. Whatever may be deemed good by the reader is due, in many instances, not a lit- tle to the contributors. We wish to extend especial thanks to our able designer, Mr. E. B. Bird of Dorchester, Massachusetts, for his labors in our behalf. It is but fair to add that the photographs from which the half-tones were taken, came from the Studio of L. M. jackson, our class photographer.
