l HISTORY or '87. HIS is not the hour for idle humor, nor maudliu titncies, nor yet for simious exag. gerations. We are on the threshold of departure. We have breathed heavily, we have groaned bitterly, and it has been said that '87 roareth like a lion 3 but let us now tread softly, mourn fully, tearfnlly, yet heroically, until the order is given to Fire the Centennial cannon, and with one occord '87 will be pronounced the strongest regiment in the great battle of education vs. ignorance. We do not seek voluptuous admiration, nor do we desire panegyric encomiums or adscititious adulations, but Spectemur agenda.

What else could we expect if we were to judge by the past ? Even now when you say ORIFLAMME. to the members of '86 it makes them groan. Though disheartened and fearful we went to work with the assurance that if '87 couldn't publish an ORIFLAMME worthy of the name, no class at F. and M. could do it, nor any class of students in the country.
