Upon our return we find that we are not forgotten. Again we re- ceive advice. The ten commandments are materially augmented. We are made to understand that this little pig may go to market, but that little pig must stay at home. We are taken to the heights, and shown the kingdoms of the world, but are warned not to enter certain fruit orchards under penalty of collegiate extinction. We are definitely told that jokes on courses are not appreciated, but that serious and thorough crhcisms of any and all courses will be welcomed. Acting upon this hint, we write serious, true and thorough criticisms of such courses as in the judgment of the students might be bettered; which criticisms will appear in a separate volume of ' 98 ' s Liber. This book will contain 3,000 pages, no ads. and will appear the day after we receive our diplomas. But notwithstanding the obstacles in our path, and crawling cautiously, as we have been obliged to do, along the verge of the Gulf of Personal Oblivion, we have introduced a few new features to which we would call attention. For the first time in the history of Brown ' s annual, it appears with a literary department. Feeling as we do, that this should, above all things, be the college book, we have adopted this method of intensifying the college atmosphere. We have no desire to supplant the Brunonian, or the pious Magazine. Our purpose is simply to set them an example. Hoping that the precedent thus established may be perpetuated by the succeeding books, feeling that we have profited by the sins of our pre- decessors, and knowing that we are setting an example which it will be impossible for any class now in college to equal, we again invite general inspection and personal regret. N. B. — In the hope that every Liber will print the following words from last year ' s Liber, till the Faculty sets the joke we take great pleasure in remarking that, The Liber is always glad to publish communications, but does not hold itself responsible for sentiments expressed therein. 10
