Preface Yesterday was the day of the Final revision of the ORACLE. All day long the Editor read and reread the copy, the wrinkles in his fore- head multiplying, and the puckers around his eyes deepening, and his hair turning greyer at each perusal. And all because he was trying to get out an acceptable ORACLE. He had mapped out his course clearly enough at the beginning. The Colby ORACLE for IQO4 was to contain nothing ill-humored, spiteful, or malicious, honors were to be distributed over as much territory as possible, and with strict impartiality. The ORACLE was to be a dispenser of sunshine, and a bringer of gladness and mirth to the troubled soul. But the Editor forgot that he fell a trifle short of a Solomon in sagacity. And so the goose flesh spread all over him, and an icy despair settled down upon his soul, when he tried to decide whether to commit suicide or await a death by torment at the hands of A his fellow students. But after many vain curses at a perverse fate, he decided to allow things to take their own course and evolved the following conclusions 1 One. The ORACLE of 1904 has done well to raiseits head above the tide of debt that overwhelms it. Two. The ORACLE would not have materialized had it not been for the inspiration the Editor derived from his room-mates. ' Three. The Editor will not be at home to visitors for one month after the ORACLE makes its appearance. . 8
