' PREFACE or 0 is with the same modesty that has ever been characteristic of the unprecedented class of '90 that We, its chosen representa- tives, now present you with this, the third volume of THE BROWN AND BLUE. The chief feature of our Work is its suggestiveness. College life is so varied, so full of fleeting incidents, that it is impossible to catch them all. Moreover, their very multiplicity would render such an idea impracticableg and the reducing of them to cold print would deprive them of half their savor. It has always been our aim to strike at the salient points, not because they are the most important in themselves simply, but What is of more consequence, because the reading of them will call before the mind other associated ideas in all their original vividness. If by so doing, We shall touch a sympathetic chord in the heart of each reader, if what we have Written and drawn shall have somevalue beside that which belongs to it intrinsically, We shall consider ourselves amply repaid. Believing the office of satire to be chiefly reformatory, We have not hesitated to make free use of it, and have cried out C213
, . - - 1 f c ul with no uncertain voice against abuses wherever we hare foul them, be they general or personal. A It dives us great pleasure to be able to call the attention of D . our readers to the po founder of our College. We hope that this slight tribute may help to revive and keep green the memory of a man about whom we know so little, and to whom we are so deeply indebted. Dr. Miner and Chas. Robinson rendered valuable assistance in the preparation of this feature, for which we are duly grateful. We hope that the Directory of Alumni may not only be interesting, but valuable for reference. By strenuous efforts we have made it very nearly complete, and we think strictly correct. We are not aware that anything nearly so comprehen- sive has heretofore been published relating to our Alumni. The music of the song Brown and Blue, although so widely known, is here printed for the first time, and we feel very conn- dent that the herein-contained photogravure of jumbo is the only one in existence. VVe regret to say that both representatives of the Theta llt-lla Chi Fraternity on the Board of Editors did not contribute any work, although earnestly requested many times to do so. Neitlnir would they allow their portraits to appear with those of the remainder of the Board, which is a still greater loss. To all who have in any way aided us, whether by suggestion or contribution, we extend our most sincere thanlcsg and lm,-W, ularly are we indebted to Mr. John Sturgis, '87, and to Nr. lf, N' Simons, 739, for many excellent illustrations.
