DITO!{I L. H 10 publication of T- ' A(;f,ni a marks the be- ginning of a new era in the college life oC Bucknell University. As in all colleges, the students of Bucknell have two curricula; one laid down by the college authorities, and the other by that essential, inevitable spirit of activity and youth, which marks e ery strong and wide-awake college student. In the latter curriculum there may not be so much that speaks of classic lore and scientific won- ders ; but there is that which speaks of the mind relaxed, the muscles in action, and health-bringing mirth and laughter. The authoritative curriculum is explained and commented ui)on in the catalogues, and also the success and victories of students in an intellectual line. It is the jjrovince of the Annual to take up the secondarv curriculum, and treat it in a characteristic stu- dent way. Many of our best students ha e. tor several )-ears, telt the need of an Annual to represent this lighter side of college life, which, if held within reasonable bounds, is enjoyed by the student, and lingers as a pleasant reminiscence in the mind of the alumnus. No class, however, was sufficiently aggressive and uniform in s])irit to pul)lish an Annual, until ' 89 stepped upon the field of junior activit -. ' e recognize the difficulties under which we labor in taking the first step in a new direction, having no local Y)recedent to follow, and no experience by which to i)rofit. While we hope to meet with some approval, we expect to be criticised. To those inclined to criticism we would say : By the time this pulilication reaches )ou our office will be closed, and the editorial l)oard disbanded; if you have any criticisms to offer b ' which the class succeeding us may profit, make them known to that class.
