Foreword This is the page that the members of the Bijou Baard usually use in explanations, apologies and preparation for what is to follow. Even with this statement before them, some of the underclassmen may not understand fully the customary character of the page. To them we would say that it is intended to be analogous to the pre-contest predictions of an athletic coach, and a counterpart: of the usual Morn- ing after speech, when we have been licked. On the other hand we are quite sure that there will be found nothing objectionable in this book. The faculty board of censors has seen to that, and as a result everything that was in the least unlady- like has been expurgated,.and as a result we have turned out a book that is perfectly harmless, and one that may be placed in the hands Of every freshman without fear of any results, either good or bad. Here the thanks of the board is due the Transcript, the back numbers of which were freely consulted for data concerning scores, averages and athletics in general, also for the boost that appeared earlier in the year. Xafe are sorry that we could not requite this favor by publishing, for you, one or two of the articles that were handed in to the Transcript, but which were subsequently stricken out by your OW11 censors. ifVe had intended to publish these but after experiences similar to yours we lost our nerve', and so we can only promise tO continue our subscriptions for another year with a dollar and a quarter of the money that each member of the Bijou board receives for his or her services. With the other quarter of our money we will take a vacation and have a big time, or on more mature reflection we will buy dope to keep us from falling asleep while We burn the mid- night oil in an attempt to catch up with the class and pass our Finals.

Here's to the Faculty! Smiling Alumnus, quaking' Student, lfriend, dispense with dreams and fears and let us call your kind and indulgent consideration to the following examples of Art. Among' these masterpieces are the most skillfully prepared works of this book-skill was required. These pretend to represent our beloved Faculty. Uh yes! Certainly we have a Faculty, they are useful at Ohio Vlfesleyan. In this Art Supplement to the Transcript,' and our other literary attempts, their pictures add ornamentation-and space. In chapel, when Prexie is in town, they adorn the platform. In the class room, when assist- ants are scarce, they are the guiding stars to correct style and Phi Beta Kappa. ln social events, invited by Monnett Rules, they serve doubly as chaperones and mural decorations. So, Student, as you peruse these pages, strive to follow in the footsteps of our Faculty, and your stand-ini' shall be strong and your days long, in the halls of Ohio VVesleyan. 16
