12 THE TROC OS. cer and Canner for designs furnished us, and for excellent steel engravings kindly sent to us by Mr. Charles Payson, of Washington, 1). C., nephew of the late ex-Gov. C. C. Washburn. In presenting sketches of the lives of members of the Faculty, we make no pretensions to biography. Although in case of many of them abundant material is at hand for eulogies on their lives and works, we have deemed it proper to leave that to be done by those who can perform it more fitly. We should give also a sketch of Professor Williams, had he not expressed a desire that nothing of the kind be published. Mr. Clarkson Heritage has our thanks for many valuable facts regarding Professor Lucius Heritage, now on leave of absence in Europe. We trust that this, the result of our efforts, may be at least tolerable to the Senior, and furnish passing amusement to the Sophomore, while we are sure it will seem a marvel in the almanac line to the Freshman and the Prep. It introduces a new era in University life, and we hope that each of the years to come may see the production of a creditable and flourishing Annual. Let the Class of ’86 buckle on its armor, and, with its usual courage, profiting by our blunders, make its production yet more acceptable than ours; while ’87 shall, without doubt, have become so thoroughly imbued with the proper spirit that an Annual will, in due season, issue forth from it as perfect and beautiful as a flower of spring.

INTRODUCTION Otf ELiEviNG that all introductions are best made when a third party is present, the editors ask a moment’s indulgence while they introduce to its readers this Annual, projected by the Class of 85. It being the first publication of its kind to issue from our University, there is naturally enough much curiosity as to how it shall appear and what it shall contain. In its compilation much research and investigation has been found necessary; in many cases justice could not be done in this connection, owing to press of other duties and lack of time and facilities. In making apology for its tardy appearance, we must say to our patrons and subscribers that everything was ready for the press some time since, but a delay was caused by the taking and retaining of a considerable portion of the manuscript by the editors representing the Chi Psi, Phi Kappa Psi and beta Theta Pi fraternities, they being dissatisfied with the decision of the Hoard of Editors in regard to the order in which the fraternities should appear. The resignations of those editors were accepted by the Class and much of the work necessarily had to be done over again by their successors. It may be that we have failed to bestow sufficient words of eulogy and comfort upon some of our aspiring geniuses, and in moments of hilarity perhaps we have written that which may be allowed to wound the sensibilities of others. We can console the former only by reminding them of the possibility of their having a future biographer, some “ admiring friend,” while the offended ones (if, unhappily, there shall be any) we must refer to our fighting editor, No. 603 Marblehead street. The editors desire right here to make thankful acknowledgment to their fellow members of the Junior Class and to the students as a whole for the valuable aid and hearty co-operation which has been extended. We are especially indebted to Messrs. Towne, Grotophorst, Spen- 11
