alut-aler-y. Gentle Reader : The Onondagan asks to be admitted for a moment to your confidence. Merry as ever, it only claims a moment of your time to make its bow, a friendly bow, and a word ot explanation. We haven ' t written this book to make you wiser, for wisdom seldom dwells in young heads. In it we have tried to mirror, not ourselves, but the life and sentiment of the University. Look in its pages and you will see a portrait, and of that portrait each student is a part. Gently, now, friends. We do not ask you to criti- cise us ; if you find anything to praise, send us a marked copy of your opinions ; but if you find aught to censure keep it to yourselves. We are happy in our dream of suc- cess, and you, — why, you ought to be happy that you have escaped our pen. We have tried to be fair, candid, unprejudiced in all our work ; inclined to be jovial, yet still severe when nec- essary. Unavoidable characteristics and strong person- alities we have avoided. What you can remedy we have not spared. Heaven help some of you ! Do our jokes cut ? We meant they should. Do they come near home ? We intended to call on ) ' ou. If you feel cross and re- vengeful, spend your spite on your faults ; you will have little left lor us. Are you sensitive to our probings ? • Yoii will not be seriously wounded. You will survive when our book is gone ; but don ' t despise the book for the truth it contains. The Onondagan is just. Malice and ill will we have not. After the sting you will see us laughing ; we are but playing our part in your history. We hate lying; we abhor affectation ; we like you ; come and sit at our table. Alumni, friends, remember Syracuse ; she remembers
