PREFACE. PRESENTING our MELANGE, we do not address our readers as 'li kind, gentle, or indulgent, realizing that, unless there is intrinsic merit in the publication, soft names will not save it from unfavorable criticism. VVe take pleasure in calling attention to our illustrations, for which all honor is due to Mr. RAY. Believing, also, the chief object of such a publication is to serve for a book of reference, we have spared nonpains to make it complete in this direction. A Since, however, the choicest viands need proper seasoning, we have mingled some salt and a little pepper, hoping thereby to add relish. Remembering that, of all men's failings, there are but two classes-5 oline, those which can be avoided, and the other, those which cannot, we have meant to touch only the former. I , V - Overlooking the grinds upon us in last year's .MELANGE, we have respected the quasi dignity of the Seniors. Of ourselves --. To the Sophsrwe have spoken frankly. George Elliot tells of a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow. When men entertain such sentiments, it is the part of a 'friend to tell' them they are mistaken. The weakest always elicit our sympathy, therefore, although there is opportunity for improvement, we have spared the Freshmen, remembering that there is an age when the slipper is withheld, although deserved. Others will doubtless administer full freely in due season. Finally, should any think we have mingled gall in our ink, we ask them, before condemning, to face the mirror squarely, tryto see them- selves as others see them. 7
