IO The Garnet. tending to the elevation of Union’s standard with joy. The new and peculiarly-formed ideas, which at present are causing students some anxiety, are doubtless the offspring of progressive spirits. Be that as it may, with some we agree, with others we do not. Our bumps of veneration are sufficiently developed to make us think that prayer- day for colleges should be set aside for Divine worship, and not passed in the pursuit of the Goddess of Wisdom. Of other changes we will but say that a judicious institution of them will be more effec¬ tive than attempts to erase, at one move, customs which have existed so long. ’T is our fate to chronicle the death of those once a part of Union. Professor Hawley was with us so short a time that we scarcely knew him ere he slept the last great sleep of death. No more through the dingy halls of south college is seen the time-worn face ot Aumie — she has become a thing of the past. “ The present ever glides into the days of yore.” But we live in the to-morrows rather than in the yesterdays of life. If our first attempt at book-making reaches not your ideal, grant us another trial, and be not surprised if ’87 should soar to the pinacle of literary fame. Though she sings not her own praises, worlds may.

Gcjiforiaf. TO those who read The Garnet we tender our thanks. Were we less aware of our superiority we might extol its merits to the extinction of our virtue in former numbers. Such, though, is not our province. A duty called; and in responding we have attempted to please, and at the same time to instruct. Our cuts may attract atten¬ tion that no words could concentrate, and our grinds, though oft repeated, speak none the less truly. If, to you, anything in our book should appear harsh, compel, we pray, your judgments to calmness, and see if they will not coincide with us. Our youth paints a future of interrupted success and for¬ bids our eyes to open to the fact that men awake from this dream of early life bent and gray — their past a blank, their future worse — but it claims not infallibility. Please be not misimpressed by this which you (for every one does) will undoubtedly read before attempting to digest the more profound literary matter, coming under the general head of College Fraternities, from the faculty to that organization founded some years prior to the creation of man. We rely on the first as being able to found laws with less poetry in them, to ye student, than any among us, and the last is so near a state of quiescence that more than a bare mention of Liz and Criss, as being foreign to neatness and order, would be superfluous. We fain would, but cannot, refrain from dwelling a few moments on several things of vital importance to ourselves, as classmates and fellow students. We are advocates of reform, and hail every move IX
