Ebe mirage W- ,I 3 3 3' 1 'N O-DAY every university, college and up-to-date high school has its l , 1- Y annual. If the accustomed class fails to issue its budget of local, ,il , nl 5 - appropriated and faked facts, then there is something .vitally ral' ' wrong with either the class or the lI15tlilltlt?l1. 'If the fault IS with J H I the class there is no remedy, but if in the institution there is a chance F for future classes to reawaken the latent support of the student enter- 2' lf if prise and by their enthusiasm and energy show to the world that Cf, ' 'ef-5 , college annuals are not only ornaments but necessities. ice! ' The college annual of to-day fills a unique place in the history iv A and memory of every college year. It embraces that part of the col- - ' A E 2' i lege and college life which the yearbook does not and cannot ade- 'Mi '- ' quately portray. It crystallizes college life,student thought, ingenuity and enterprise into vivid and pleasant memories and interesting and mirthful narratives. While the catalogue and annual are separate and distinct, yet one is as important as the other, the one supplementing and explaining the other. It is only when the two are combined and comprehended as a unit that the two phases of college life-theoretical and practical-are portrayed as they really are. The idea of this component part of De Pauw University originated back in the early 80's, when some enterprising students organized a private company and proceeded to compile and issue a small publication known as the MIRROR. The lirst book met with such general approval that other similar publications were attempted, and in 1887 the Junior Class decided to establish a precedent to be followed by all succeeding classes, and issued the first volume of the MIRAGE. The editors of that famous work were O. H. Carson, Redacteur de Fraternitesg T. W. Haymond, Redacteur de Poesie et d'Artg Eugene Hector, Gerant d'Afl'aires gW. P. Mooney, R6dacteurd'Espritet d'Humeur, and W.J. Snyder, Redacteur de Miscellanees. They dedicated the result of their labors: To all who love to hear the tale of college life, its pleasures as well as its duties. It had as its mission the por- trayal of the close fellowship of the fraternities, the heated debates and wrangles 'al-vig' :H- -.Ab i 254 X of the literary societies. the struggles in athletics, the pleasures in various clubs K A- and associations, the perils of midnight adventure, and all those distinctive ' phases of college life not touched by the catalogue. Secondly, its aim was to show the magnitude of the University, its development and its character. In turning through its pages one is impressed with the stability of some of wi Xxsdi' I our traditions and customs, and especially is one impressed with the large number of the faculty enumerated there, who are yet seeing active duty. Of the present number eight-Dr. Gobin, Dr, Post, Professor Longden, Colonel Weaver, Professor Ayres, Dr. Baker, Mrs. Mansfield and Miss Druly-have been directly connected with the institution since the first number of the MIRAGE was issued. It contains a summary of the various departments and histories of 4 1 -'I I , ,vi E1 A --I-4 M ug, fl ak' the various classes, with the class rolls. The work is conspicuous for the want of pictures. The fraternities are inserted with monograms and chapter rolls, but no pictures. From the number of teams and games enumerated one would conclude that De Pauw was at one time the institution among institutions in athletics. Besides the regular teams every class, society and fraternity had its baseball and football team. 7
