moms; Foreword fertcu 1:;- t-eilm :Lc-lluv - HY a book of the class. which the average college annual repre- sents, needs a preface, is one of the lilySleries which some of our gigantic men of intellect of the new century will one day solve successfully. The preface is not usually read until everything else. even the lists of students, has been exhausted. and then as much impression is made as if the page was still in its original virgin state of whiteness. But it is a condition that confronts us, and not a theory. A fool rule has ordained that such cliguitied tomes as ours ought to have prefaces. So here goes. Most gentle reader, we beg your pardon most humbly for insisting on foisting this unworthy work upon your gracious attention. Vt'hile we do not exactly think that we have buukoed you in selling,r you this volume, yet in some wise we feel congenital to the Honorable Dave Harum after he has just traded a horse However. youeor rather it, is the best we can do. We have spent several hours of toil over the hook, in an endeavor to make it one that will be at all times interesting without any malicious; attempts to injure anyboclyls selfirespect. If. in trying to make the hook readable. we have gone too far, we beg pardon most sincerely. On the contrary, if you think We have not smote and spared not in a suFFJcieut degree. we can only recommend you to 13055855 your soul in patience until your turn comes, and them. Oh slayer of giants, you will know a great deal more than you do now. If the CINCINNATIAN for 1900 has succeeded in pleasing you, but for a few pleasing moments only, we will be satisfied. We hope it will make :1 much better impression than that. In conclusion, we hcg to express our sincere grati- tude to many friends who have aided us by contributions and in other ways, and take this occasion to acknowledge our indebtedness. Salaam aleicum. oh render, and peace be with you. ill
