- pi ;qEF Ti0 According to the precedent established by the Junior Class of the past year, that t he college annual be published by a board of seven members chosen from their number, the Class of Eighty-Five has assumed a like responsibility, likewise accepting the constitution previously adopted, and most heartily concurring in the decision of spelling the title Cor- NELLiAN instead of as previously Cornelian. It has been the fervent desire of the editors that as regards matter ami manner presented the publication be well worthy of the title it bears, and deserving the support of the student body. The board, moreover, can but consider that the annual is regarded by most colle- giates as a reference book, as well as a souvenir of the year, and have accordingly compiled such statistics as would be interesting to all Cor- nellians. The reader will find here and there facetious productions from the student pen in which it is hoped the most sensitive will not find cause for offense. Now and then a sketch by some student ap- pears, to be i ure not wonderful, but oft times more expressive than words. It being desired that as far as possible, the publication be the work of Cornellians, a prize was offered for the design of the cover, and as a result the one presented was accepted. In presenting the au- totype of our esteemed President as a frontispiece of the annual, a pre- cedent is hoped to be established which future classes will observe by inserting the photographs of other members of the faculty or trustees. The editors desire to thank those who have so kindly aided them in their work, and to acknowledge the favors of the previous board. Thk Editohs.
