This book is a compendium of carefully , -I' XSS! f I M if ,gi selected pictures and illustrations and of choicest V 3 -J ' ' 8 'Lv 7 F ,-WW! literary productions. It contains, among other things the pictures of the famous De Pauw Quartet and of the Faculty lined up in football attire, also other novel cartoons and illustrations. It has a very complete literary department, and, upon the whole, is the most elaborate and exhaustive treatise upon De Pauw University in general and the Class of '96 in particular that has yet appeared. Again the MIRAGE appeared in consecutive years, for '96 was followed by that of '97, ded- icated To the memory of Bishop Asbury, whose untiring efforts and indefatigable enthusiasm fostered the germ of education in the young commonwealth of Indiana and made possible the present status of our beloved University. The work contained nothing very original, being a follower of the same general lines laid out by previous editions. lt was a neat and well put up book, made especially attractive by many excellent and charming sketches and illustrations from the pen and Lbrush of Charlotte Paddock. Ninety-nine! Who has not heard of '99'S MIRAGIE. Any comment here as to its merits would be entirely out Of place. Books, as men, should not be estimated until they have been dead long enough for the impartial critic or historian to write unbiased and un- prejudiced. And as the annual issued by the Class of '99 has been repudiated by its projenitors, condemned by its class, and received with disappointment by the student body, it does not remain for 1900 to add insult to injury, but we anxiously restrain prejudices are forgotten, that some one may be fou11d to recognize in ,99'S MIRAGE, either real or imaginary, some quality that can be commended to a disappointed col- lege world. Our review is completed. We place this Hook, as the ninth volume in the series of the De Pauw MIRAGES, trusting that it contains something worthy of honorable mention in the next review of these publications. 9 'HW our opinion in the hope that at some time in the future, when personalities and
