« « Preface « « fN launching another Pandora, with its rich and varied freight, upon the sea of popular favor, it has been the aim of the Kditors and Publishers to provide for the tastes of the widest circle of intelligent readers. Wc are inclined to think that both the writers of l ooks and the readers of them arc generally •' 'fur not a little unreasonable in their expectations. The one class seems to fancy that every reader must approve whatever they produce, and the other to imagine that writers should be criticised for not satisfying the varied and fastidious tastes of the multitude. We think that on the one hand no person is born with the right of controlling the opinions of all the rest. So, on the other, the world has no title to demand that the whole care and time of a man be spent for its entertainment. Therefore, I cannot but believe that readers and writers arc under equal obligations for as much fame as each affords the other. Everyone acknowledges that it would be a wild notion to expect perfection in any one thing, and relying upon this consoling thought, the editors present this volume to the reading public. Prom innumerable contributions of genius and talent, wc have carefully selected the contents of this book. It, in itself, tells you of the happenings of the preceding year, gives you a bird's-eye view of the student body in their many associations, setting forth the genius of thought and expression, the delicate play of fancy and lofty ideas of patriotism to our Alma Mater, and the delicious sallies of wit and humor, that will some day give tone to the society of our country as in days gone by. Wc arc especially indebted to Mr. Eugene Murphey, of Augusta, for his inestimable aid. so freely given us in the production of this volume; and arc also under many obligations to Miss Jennie Smith, of Athens, for valuable assistance. From the best talent in this year's contributions wc have gleaned this Annual, and wc sincerely trust that it may be worthy a welcome. e
