Sonnet to 98 s Flower H, dainty little flakes of Heaven ' s blue. With modest faces peeping from the sod, Have ang-els airy lingers fashioned you To turn our stra ing fancies back to God? Methinks, that as they gentl)- dropped you here, They did a work upon you all bestow. From Him you bring a message; that is clear; And glad I ' ll listen, while you breathe it low. ' Tis this: As 1 am jnire and free from sin. So be ye pure and free from stain or blot. Thy Maker e ' er be like, without, within; And e er in thy day forget Mc not.

Prologue HE months of preparation are now past, and the time has come for L ' AGENnA, V ol. V, to make her bow to the friends, officers, and students of Bucknell. In presenting this edition the Board of Editors are con- scious that it is not perfect. We have, however, sought to reflect credit upon our college, and the class which has honored us with this charge. The liter ary work has received constant and careful attention; the de- tails of arrangement and proportion have been selected with the utmost care; our pleasantries, we intend, shall leave no sting behind. Our primary object has not been to produce a literary work in the fullest sense of the word, or a book of satire, but rather to faithfully descrilje our many-sided college life from the student ' s point of view. One caution to our reader: When you take up L ' Age. ' d. , lay aside your microscopes, field-glasses, and other critical paraphernalia; then you are prepared to enjoy it, and find the good there is in it — for we are sure there is some good here. And when you find a good thing, tlo not fear to remind us of it. We need all the praise you can honestly give, for this is oar compensation for the onerous labor we have performed. And, finally, Bucknell, dear Bucknell, when Ninety-eight has gone from your sheltering walls, when the seed you have sown during these short years shall be bearing worth - fruit, may this work, which we now present to ou, be a lasting memorial of our affection and our gratitude. The Board of Editors.
