The literary committee, through the generosity of several friends, has been enabled to give prizes for literary work of special merit. To these, our friends, who have so materially assisted us, we acknowledge our obligation and express our thanks. The editors have tried to steer a mean course between the dangers of being too concise with our lists and too diffuse with our grinds. Lest we might seem to take undue advantage of our position, we have refrained from criticising some things justly open to censure. It is needless to add, except to those unacquainted with the facts, that the present edition is wholly rewritten, and is printed from new plates, the other ones being retained b} the publisher of the last edition. If this volume pleases you lose no time in telling us about it. On the other hand, if you wish to criticise some special point, keep it in mind till the next editor is elected and impart it to him. He will be glad of your advice. In finishing our work, we sincerely trust that these pages, written in the hurry of students ' busy days, maybe a help and an amusement to many fellow-suiferers.

lEMtorial. . . WE did just what we said we would. The student bodv, under the immedi- ate supervision of the class of ' 94, has published a realistic annual. The preceding numbers of the book have been issued by the fraternities, but, at the beginning of the 3 ' ear, they relinquished all claims on the publication of the annual to the Junior Class. That class elected a Syllabus board to publish the book. Behold the result I The ninth volume of the Syllabus is befoie you for your entertainment. The main purpose of the editors has been to discover and write up, in something like regular order, the causes and extent of the intellectual and social changes and accompanying disturbances which have especially characterized the lives of the students and faculty of Northwestern during the last twelve months. The one merit which the book claims is that of honest, uncompromis- ing truthfulness in the less important parts. It gives us great pleasure to present to the students the pictures of nearly all of our Professors. You will see that the facult} ' has been materially strengthened by the addition of new Instructors in nearh ' every department. The failing health of Professor Kellogg, necessitating at least a partial relief from the active duties of his professorship, causes a feeling of profound regret throughout the student communit3 The public lectures in the Department of Political Science have been unusually interesting and instructive, attracting thereby large audiences. A great improvement has been made in the heating apparatus. The experiment is being tried in some half dozen rooms of using anthracite coal in place of the ruins of the old board sidewalk and occasional stra} ' trees found dying on the campus. We trust the experiment will not show the coal too expensive, and that the substitution ma - be made permgnent.
