The slogs, which we publish, are in most cases just; in others they are evidence of good will; if you will do and say foolish arid ridiculous things, you must take the consequences. We have “grinded” some, because we wanted to look out for their welfare, and hope they will profit by Hi others, because we thought, our friends would enjoy it, and have no doubt they will laugh at them. “ Ridicule takes the folly and impudence out of a man, and puts him In hU proper sphere.” To the students, who have subscribed so liberally, we wish to express our thanks, and hope they will find some entertainment in this volume. We have tried to do our best in compiling this- book, and though we cannot expect to please everybody, we hope that if you criticise, you will be leuient with us, remembering that we are not authors by our own choice, but by appointment. 10

gditorial ©NOE more, o’er the placid waters of the Seneca, resounds the “ EcuOi” recalling to our memories many a. liard-fouglit- hat-tie, many a. thrilling adventure, and many a glorious victory. Take others, we have had our share of the “hitter, as well as of the sweet,” but still we have borne our misfortunes bravely and courageously, never forgetting or losing sight of our motto, 4id tfzipctS sit rsXot In looking back on the doings of the year, naturally we first turn towards A tide ties. Our Base Ball nine last year made a, record •of which they should, be proud. They had the honor of taking tho second ponant, and this year the prospects are very flattering. The Sc mi-Annual Field Day showed' a lack of thorough training ou the part of the men from the upper classes, while on the other hand the men fresh from preparatory schools did wonderfully well, con- sidering their ability. Through the untiring energy of our President, Dr. Potter, we have two' new buildings—a new library building, which is very complete, and a gymnasium, which will he opened by Commencement, Our Campus has been graded, so that now' wo possess one of tho finest “ diamonds” in the State. Several changes In the Faculty have taken place, among which we regret to mention that of Dr. Prall, who has been so popular with the students, and who is compelled to sever bis connection with the college. The Department of Natural Science has happily succeeded in se- curing the services of Mr. F. 1C. Mixer, an efficient geologist, from our neighboring city, Buffalo. 0
