PRELUDE. as Q2 as E tell you deeds of men of worth, Of 111611 of high and noble birth, Of such as human fortunes crown And leave earth's f ate without a frown. XVe tell you deeds and acts sublime, That cause the bells of joy to chime And bri11g a note to every heart That it should ne'er from joy depart. lVe tell you deeds not only high, Or such as lift o11e to the sky, As lead to joy-perchance to fright,- XVe tell you some of middle height. ,Too, for tl1e students as a whole, 'We wave our Hag with joy of soul g W'e tell the story full and true Of captains all and entire crew. The substance all is gathered wide, From cloud-capped 1'IlOLl1llI to roaring tide From Monroe's mountains, jersey's strand From Brooklyn, Berks, Northumberland. And 11ow its mission is to you To show the deeds that man may do, How women, too, with men may rise Unfurling banners to tl1e skies g How low to higher walks may come And join in lines with higher some g How sick and feeble may get strong 'And help the Cl1'G2l1l1 of life along. From what is past we judge tl1e Held That's not yet to our eyes revealed : And tl1l.lS we judge man's future state From what's disclosed by bygones' fate. 8

Editor's Preface. J Q3 vb' N presenting this issue, the sixth volume, of TI'IE CIARLA to the reading public, little needs to be said by way of an apology. Since this is an additional volume of a series already begun, there are certain conventionalities in some kinds of matter and its arrangement, which We have seen it fit, at least in a general way, to follow 5 but in the main we have aimed at striking originality, at least as much so as circumstances permitted without breaking what we may call well-established and acknowledged precedent, and such as preserves at least the general uniformity of the series, It has been our aim to present college life not in an ideal way, such as would tickle one's poetic fancies and call up in the reader's mind a veritable Utopia fanned by a pure and unadulterated classic atmosphere, but to give a true version thereof, developed from fact and suggestion, as it has really passed before us. We trust that all-the meditative as Well as the light-l1ea1'ted- may within this volume find food to satisfy their own peculiar tastes, and may from its pages receive the highest mental edinca- tion, for We have striven to furnish a board with the greatest possible variety of dainties and delicacies, as well as a variety of more substantial dishes, so as to meet the desires of all. We have tried to tread lightly so as to leave no stain, and to use the matter and suggestions at our command with a kindly spirit,-such as should reign among students at all times, Witli due acknowledgement and gratitude to all who have assisted us in any way, we now, in the name of the Class of '98, offer this- book to an intelligent and candid public. 7
