PREFACE QILThe Llislck is out. Probably it is late, but think of the pleasure you have had in asking us when it was to appear, and remember that, owing to the absurd requirements of our Faculty, the members ofthe Board have to attend college exercises just like ordinary men. And now that the finished product of our efforts is before you, we await your tumultuous approbation. It is much the same book as before-same names, same matte1', same old jokes. But the form and substance of the LIBER is too time-honored for us to try to change it. Besides we have aimed to make this a representative book -and when you think of some of the people and institutions at Brown that we represent you ought to be ready to excuse any- thing.

With saddened hearts we took out our shears and began to cut out. After we had contemplated the diminished pile of copy and our overflowing waste-baskets we began to read the remnant that was left, when one of the Board made a suggestion that made way for all kinds of trouble. This was that some of the Board might like to graduate this year. MLDl'C scissors work followed and you see before you what remained-if only you could have seen our waste- baskets. But be good to us as it is, we have done the best that we could.
