DEGENERATE DIVERSIONS THE DEGENERATES SPEAK: Briefly and simply the lofty purpose of this exhaustive work fexhaustive to us at leastl is to impart knowledge. Acting upon the principles of historians, we are including only unsubstantiated facts, for only in that way are we freed from dull detail and the sordidness of sober reality. It is therefore expected that those privileged to read this will keep in mind the seriousness and high-minded purpose of the parents of these brain children. To secure the material which appears in these pages we have searched through many archives and have delved into the pasts of many lives. We have labored untiringly to present to your consideration, knowledge that would otherwise be unavailable. All opinions inspired by a personal motive have been scrupulously barred and only those which no one could dispute as being untrue have been incorporated. And in closing we think it only fitting and proper that this work of inspired genius be dedicated to Sparkey, the janitor,-who takes care of all such trash. Convivially, Bidwell Hall, lI30 A. M.
