Greeting to Qbfiflamme 'Readers 199 'llli EDITORS have no other apology to offer to the students and i f . QQ . friends of Franklin and Marshall College for thrusting upon them . X this volume of the Orillamme except that custom has enjoined upon l ' p , the Junior Class the duty of publishing some such book as this each year. There are at least two sides to every story, and the story of college life at Frank- lin and llarshall is no exception to the rule. The serious side of our college life is recorded upon the class records of our professors, or Bled away in the shape of Freshman attempts, Sophomorie bombast, Junior eloquence, or Senior philosophy. which, being consigned to manuscripts, will be preserved as wonderful evidence of the studions attempts of ambitious students. But that other side remains yet as a tale untold,'land a great portion of it never must be told,-at least till all our diplo- mas are signed. It is, however, the privilege of the editors to unfold some of the frivolities and some of the nonsense which make up a pa1't of our college life, for 5' a little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men. If in the Humor- ous Department, the burden of some of the f'roasts appears greater than their object can bear, let him remember that the editors meted to each what they thought he could bear, and if some intended jokes cannot be fathomed bythe reader, a letter with enclosed stamp, addressed to the edito1', will receive p1'ompt attention and clear away the diliiculty. Vie express the hope that the book will be dealt with kindly by the literary critics of the college. If we have not 1'eached the high mark-perfection, we have aimed at it and have tried to do our best. lVe desire to call special attention to the Literary Department, an innovation in the College Annual. The subjects of these articles have been selected with the greatest care so that the matter would harmonize with the purposes of the book. XVe further call attention to the large number of cuts and half-tones which in part, at least, is responsible for the attractiveness of any book of this nature. ' The Editors take this opportunity to express their heartfelt thanks to those who in any way have assisted them in publishing this bookg especially. to those who have cont1'ibuted tothe Literary Departmentg to the students, classes, fraternities and organizations, who have promptly? responded to our slightest requests for needed materialg to those students and friends who have executed the many sketches, and to the Philadelphia Pravs for the use of a number of cuts.
