Colby College - Oracle Yearbook (Waterville, ME)

Preface Once more the ORACLE ASSOCIATION presents to students and friends an edition of the college annual. The editors have worked hard to make this volume of the ORACLE the best yet published, and to accomplish this, have made some changes in arrangement and intro- duced several new features. The cover design will please those who have complained that recent issues of the ORACLE are antiquated in appearance. A proportionate part of the space has been devoted to the women. The biographies of the Professors will give some inter- esting information in regard to the character of our Faculty. Nothing of a vicious nature has been said concerning any individual connected with the college. In explanation of this last new feature, we would say that it is our belief that college annuals of today take too much liberty in their roast columns, especially, when, as frequently happens, something is said derogatory to the dignity, and frequently to the character, of the Professors. Such things, if they do nothing worse, teach the student to hold the Professor in slight esteem, and the student is the loser thereby, for he acquires most from those professors whom he most respects and loves. We are aware that the omission of these Uroasts will prove a disappointment and a source of criticism to some. Let us say that it required no little sacrifice on our part to withhold from publication some of the contributions we had received, since we were fully aware that by omitting them we were taking away just so much from the wit and sparkle of our pages. Yet we believe that our action will meet the general approval, while we trust that, as a whole, this volume will prove to be not unattractive to all our readers. THE EDITORS March 16, 1906 8
