But I vow I bear no malice against the people I abuse. When I say an ill-natured thing, ' tis out of pure good Inimor ; and I take it for granted they deal in exactly the same manner with me.

GENTLE READER: The Blue and Gold of ' p 5 is before you. Its faults are many, but we ask you to overlook them. We do not lay claim to literary immortality; as a book for and by the students, the editors have endeavored to render it interesting to all the students of the University and to their many friends. Our function of criticism has been employed wher- ever we thought it necessary, but remember that our aim has been to amuse and that we bear malice toward none but good will toward all. The selection of material for the ' ' Miscellany has been a difficult task and we have probably made many mistakes. We hope, however, that you will find nothing to your distaste. Kind reader, we will not detain you longer, but leave you to wander through the book as fancy dictates, hopittg only that you will be able to glean from its pages something both good and useful. 6
