The appearance ofa complete change of line and full-page drawings as well as a welcome variety in style are features to which we wish to call particular attention. But in particular tlo we point with pride to the fact that the illustrating this year has been the work of Brown talent exclusively. Though a Lim-:R Bltuxmvsrs was never known to satisfy the exacting tastes of every man' in college, yet we feel that our severest critics can but atlmit that at least something new has this year been accomplished in the long history of college annuals at Brown.

Elections here are quite a note, And never cause a row, For if you know not how to vote, George Gaskill tells you how. 7
