ImtFodliLietioBo NINETY-NINE presents her L ' Agenda to the students and friends of Bucknell hoping that none who read its pages will be disappointed in their expecta- tions. The primary aim of the Editors has not been to exhibit any phenomenal originality, yet wherever possible we have introduced new features, which we believe will add to the merits of the book. Our desire has been to present to the readers of L, ' Agenda a representation of college life at Bucknell. If we succeed in this endeavor, and our work meets the approval of the class of ' 99, under whose auspices this volume is published, and which has so kindly honored us with this charge, we shall feel amply rewarded for the time and labor spent upon its com- pletion. In several particulars we have departed from previous custom. The class histories have been left substantially as they were when handed to us by the his- torians of the respective classes. We have pursued this course because we be- lieve that by doing so the histories will be more representative of the views and impressions of college life, as held by the diflferent classes, than if we attempted to rewrite them. The boarding clubs have been omitted entirely in order to save space, which we trust has been utilized to better advantage in the literary de- partment. A word to our fellow students: If any of you feel that we have been too severe with you, remember that our treatment of you is not due to any ill feeling or spirit of revenge upon our part. We have only desired to supply the demand that exists for so-called jokes and grinds, and that cannot be disregarded without impairing the success of L ' Agenda. Please remember also that you have been especially singled out simply because you are the most appropriate subject for our purpose. It has been the endeavor of the Editors to avoid any references that would reflect upon the personal character of anj ' one. That our efforts have not resulted in the production of a perfect work we are ready to admit. The most that we hope for is that our work will be a credit both to our class and to Bucknell. Criticisms we expect; praise will be gratefully received. Respectfully, Editors.
