: it -,M V,-1-IM' .749-if ' A , BROWN UNIVERSITY is greatly bereaved in the death of President Emeritus William Herbert Perry Faunce. For thirty years his personality was an integral part of our life. He saw the University grow great and strong and he himself was a large factor in that growth. Itlwas hoped that after the strain of his administrative work had ceased, there would be a period of several years when he could give himself to a more leisurely contribution to the great causes to which he was so -devoted. He has gone from us, but death has no power to take away the memory of the wisdom, the kindness, the tolerance, and all which went into the making of the man who will ever live in the lives of many graduates of Brown the world around. CLARENCE A. BARBOUR.

FUREWORD THERE are some half-witted Animals abroad, who fenvying our publicationj would persuade the World that all our Works are only Collections out of others, and that we have done nothing but what was done before, To which we Answer: That those idle drones are beholden to us for our Labour and Pains herein, and ought to give us Thanks for our Care and Trouble, than to carp against us for that which their crazy pates can neither mend nor imitate. Let therefor those dull Souls, who envy the rays of Light which spring from others, and wish all to be in darkness with themselves, whose skulls are filled with Ignorance, their hearts with Malice, and their Mouths with Clamour, outdo what we have done for forever hereafter hold their Babling and Malicious Tonguesj and we profess that we shall be so far from envying their glory, or reviling of their persons, that we shall heartily rejoyce for the same, and Vail to them in a large acknowledgment of their transcendent Abilities.
