HISTORICAL HE history of the University has ofttimes been written, but never to our knowledge has it been done with due regard to the true value of its sources. Out from the mouths of the earliest witnesses cometh truth, and they who monger words and pander verbious pabulum to a credulous public do much wrong. A ig for those would-be expo- nents of our greatness, who annually, when the august alumni do congregate to eat lobster salad witl1 dill pickles at a dollar a plate, do vent forth long ringing periods born from overwrought imaginations and fraught with error. Such is not history. Let us seek the sources. The history of aland, of apeople, or of a community, and therefore of a university, is best to be sought from -the lips of its Oldest Inhabitants. They are the ones who have lived and seen. Age has laid its chastening burden upon their heads.

Wliy should one be satisfied with fiction and fancy when the truth is to be had from such reliable sources? SO now we will write the true history of our institution. This is to be a history in fact, not a mere pipe-dream or fancy. When you have read this you will know for a surety that at last you have the straight of it. You may then cease your search. This having been successfully accomplished, there will be no need for further effort. Not, at least, until the University shall make some more history. There are those with us who have been here well-nigh always. They are quiet and unassuming, they do not attend alumni banquets, though some of them are strong on Friday evenings at the two chapels or at exercises at the Oliver. They seldom make speeches or write for the college papers. They are reticent and modest, but they have been here since the beginning, and kind of by absorption they have taken in much wisdom. ...lo-
