INTRODUCTION HE explosion of sentiment, wit, and wisdom which was billed to come with the appearance of the ' 96 Debeis may or may not have made its identity known: but tliat there may not be any such horrible calamity take place this year, we have decided to launch our feeble efforts upon that vast Literary sea, where so many wrecks occur, not without sonic little degree of apprehension. We were fully aware of the great things that were expected of us, and have made our l est efforts at fulfilling them. No doubt there are some features that are displeasing, but it is our earnest hope that in years to come, when turning over the pages of the book, it may recall pleasant memories of Purdue, or serve as a memento of four of the most busy years of our lives. If it fulfill this hope, its mission has not been in vain. The annual publications of Purdue have always been an honor to the Uni- versity, and a credit to those who made them what they were. Each year it becomes a more difficult task: and little do they who come after us realize that their task will he a still harder one than ours! There is a limit to this ex- cellence, which we are rapidly approaching; and when we attain that limit, suc- cess will lie but added instead of multiplied. We believe that we should profit by the good things done by others, as well as by their mistakes, and we acknowledge the guidance which our predecessors work- has been to us. We did not believe in making the change for the sake of change. We have none but the kindliest feelings for our publishers and engravers, and all others who have contributed in any way to its success. The absence of a white (?) cover on this Debris will perhaps be a disappointment to some. Our only excuse is that we have a few ideas of our own. We would advise all succeeding boards of editors to be likewise considerate and omit it from their publications. In conclusion, we present this book, the result of much worry and effort, to those who appreciate though they criticise; who recognize real merit though they applaud it not.
