Remarks -from the Editor. i WE have no menagerie to present, though we would proudly boast the owner- ship and exclusive control of a few freaks. We don ' t want you to think that we have robbed you, but you will not get 3-our money back if you ' re not satisfied. This is the catalogue of that Bucknell crowd, called 1905, dealers in general merchandise. You old, bald-headed fellows that made these parts your haunts in former days, we have tried to list in our catalogue the articles that would interest you. We have done this out of no love for you but that we might buy chewing gum for ourselves. For you are supposed to have money and we are penniless. You know how that was when jou circled around the Seminary and took girls to the games. This condition of affairs has given us the excuse for the historical nature of the book. To those who are unfortunate enough to be working {? in the place known as Bucknell, we offer our sympathy. But here and there in our catalogue we have receipts for college ills. One following the.se receipts will be killed or cured. In either case he won ' t bother us any more. If anything appeals to you as somewhat unfit, causing a feeling of anger to begin to possess you, our telephone number is 356 E. Call us up, inform us of your intention to fight and we ' ll leave town as soon as possible. To the critical among you, we have but to say that college students no longer have time to be correct. Hence the mistakes and shortcomings. Then, too, it is hard to pay the living expenses of as large a L ' Agenda Board as ours is and get out a good book. For the benefit of the general reader, it might be said that we could find no hitherto unpublished manuscript of Dickens, Thackery or Shakespeare. Mr. Longfellow flatly refused to consider our offers. So we had to get to work our- selves. 1905 was inspired by her love for her college. How well or how poorly she has done is for you to judge.
