That vou mav not mistake our aim and criticise us unjustly, we here state that our whole purpose has been to tcll the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. ln the events of the college year have we found many ethical, aesthetic and other time-honored and impor- tant principles struggling for expression. If we have not given an extended biography of all you who have solicited our favor, do not feel slighted, for it simply means that you are not typical of your speciesg and remember that there is such a thing as L' hfluch Ado About Nothing. lYe are sure that as you read this book you will feel the spirit of kindliness and lovelf in which it is edited. All the credit of this book do ive gladly give to Christopher Columbus, who alone made possible U. of W. and the B,xno1a1z. ' K. ll. Tone, on Love, pp. 1- if 17-503. 1

Ye Honorable William Pitt Bartlett did sit in ye chair as presiding oflicer. Now was all, save ye breathing, hushed while Bishop Samuel Fellows, of ye Class of '59, spake ye opening prayer. Then did ye following rise to their feet and speak: Professor john Charles Freeman, on behalf of ye Faculty, and Henry Herbert Jacobs, of ye Class of '93, on behalf of ye studentsg and james L. High, of ye Class of '64, on behalf of ye Alumnig and President james B. Angell, of ye University of Michigan, on behalf of ye sister Univorsitiesg and Governor George W. Peck, His Excellency, on behalf of ye commonwealth, and Regent John Johnston, on behalf of ye Regents. When all these had come to an end was Charles Kendall Adams formally installed as President of ye University, by presenting him with ye seal of ye University. When all was again quiet did ye new President give ye Inaugural Address on Ye University and ye State.
