I. Q wiwmi tas ' . Z,': Students of Cornell College, and the College world in general, the SIBVLLINE is at lastbefore ypu. Its Editors, with as little egotism as possible, under the circumstances, surrender these much talked of pages to the inspection of everyone without the pales of their Sanctum-College Students, Alumni, and Faculties, and all those never initiated into the blessed associations of College life, who have 'fthe stamps -feeling confident that the product of their labor deserves at least Ll1l7l7lZiS'ii'Z'07Z into the fraternity of College Annuals. : First, to those directly connected with our College, particularly those who have been prompted by their confidence in us to entrust the Annual entirely to our care, we, the Board of Editors desire to express our thanks for the aid and encouragement we have received from them. We have tried to make the SIBYLLINE as unique and original as possible. We have followed no plan but that suggested by our own judgment. If in any way we have failed, it has been through our short- sightedness and lack of wisdom. The Editors have done their best. If in any way we have given - offense, we have no apology to offer, for we have not written to please. If in our exposition of College life, we have not fulfilled the expectation of some, we proffer no excuse. We have tried to keep in mind the welfare of Cornell, and have sought to produce something creditable, at the sacrifice of profits. To those interested, an apology for this step is unnecessary. At least it is not offered. To the outside College world, we wish to say, that the SIBYLLINE is the first College Annual which ever opened its eyes in Iowa's educational world. We sincerely hope that it may live to become the father for motherj of a mighty race. As an advertisement of our College, it may possibly fail, for it has not been published as such. Q' With many thanks, and. no apologies, we vacate our official chairs, lock up our sancitum with a sigh of relief, give the manuscriptito our compositor, administer a parting kick to our Devil, and adjourn to Kueb's for our usual banquet at the expense of the Company's funds, with the addition of one bottle of black pop apiece to celebrate the occasion.
