fi W Q Qnorzclelgelrz. ja Glance at lie, Past. O the wide-awake student in our American universities nothing is of greater interest than the customs and traditions that have been handed down from former generations of students. The idea that the serious, dignified and learned body of men who customarily compose our collegiate alumni, were once rollicking fun-loving college fellows is a pleasing one 5 and the customs which they inaugurated, or in which they shared, even if not fully in accord with the spirit of later days, are revered for their antiquity. Such old and cherished usages are hallowed for association's sake, and every loyal student will endeavor to transmit them to their successors. VVithin bounds these customs are admirable. They are a sort of spice to the dish of education, and though not to be taken in nauseating quantities, or confounded with the dish itself, they are harmless and necessary to an 'appreci- ative relish of the more substantial food. The student of Syracuse-is hampered somewhat in this regard by stern reality. On every hand he is confronted by unmistakable evidence of zzaffcfznmzv that cannot be overlooked 3 and it is hard for even the most romantic 1nind to surround our customs with that moss-grown look of indefinite antiquity, in which the traditions of many colleges are enveloped. Even if we could forget the other reminders that our university is a juzrfwzzf, our band of beardless alumni would 'hardly pass muster as relics of very ancient days, when compared with the fossil remains of the early classes that are accustomed to hover around the banquet boards at the commencement dinners of some of our old colleges. Still, if our institution is not remarkable for its age, it is remarkable for the number of successes it has been able to score in its short career of twenty years. In athletics, in musical organizations and in journalism, as well as in the more legitimate field of regular scholastic work, we have always occupied a proud position among the older colleges of the State. 7 .2 Y- :a..:e.,rf,r1..g.- .

M But if you were to ask us what student enterprise had 3 3, 1 , most uniformly redounded to the credit of thepuniver- sity, we should answer, THE ONONl'JAGAN.,7 Successive F, generations of under-graduates have been accustomed , to compare with pride and satisfaction our edition of the ONONDAGAN, to the student annuals received from 135' -.v.viif,fff' - ', other colleges. .On this the fifteenth annual appearance of the volume it seems fitting to refer br1eHy to the features that characterized the book in former days, and Three Bad Men. to some of the changes it has undergone since the first modest volume was ushered into the world by the class of '78. This first book was about one hundred pages in thickness, bound in fiexible paper, 'and despite the rather contemptuous manner in which we are accustomed to regard it, judging from the standpoint of our present excellence, it was for its time a very creditable annual, and permeated through and through with the spirit that dominated all similar publications at that period. The development since has been very rapid, and from a literary and artistic standpoint, wholly in the right direction. Yet the advancement has been only a part of a general col- lege movement,-a movement from an unpretentious pamphlet filled largely with matter suitable only for H mock schemes, to a dignified volume setting forth in a neat and elegant manner the present state of all the college organiza- tions, with less attempt at hluster and braggadocia, and less hyperbole in description. The first number was full of caricatures, and little matter appeared that was not intended to make a laughf Yet undignified and unauthentic as the little volume was, an air of good humor pervaded its pages that made up for many deficiencies, while the familiarity that it showed and the unfailing use of nick-names in speaking of any of the students, impresses us with -the fact, that, at that time, the students were as a rule better acquainted than now, and good fellowship reigned supreme. The general order of contents of this and the fol- lowing Synzuz1sf1'an.v was : first, the officers of instruction and alumni lists of the college 3 next, the matter pertaining to the classes, with the names of the mem- bers of each class, then the fraternity lists ornameuted with cheap wood cuts, both alumni and active members being given. After this the sorority lists decorated in the same manner, following these came the class societies, of which there were a far largerinumber than now, all embellished with the most fiendish 9 - ..-f 1 ,gs-sv ,, H,
