In sl ag hw bk for .lC. 115. ml M15 Nu -is P. he id to 'li of Y . .il .0 'e ll' e. is -r k 3 6 I5 E I A fifth has determined to gather together and administer in onedose all the chestnuts in existence, that they may not keep harassing mankind forever. Better to die at once and for all time, than to be tortured to death by inches. With this in mind, with the happy thought that there is to be no more in the future, the reader may survive the shock and live to reap the reward proffered by this department. One, more daring than the rest, has run the risk of indiges- tion and potato-mashers by ascertaining through experience and recording the non-nutritious diets of the several students' board- ing houses. Landlords, read his Aremarks and be convinced. Mothers, read them and pity your poor, starved sons. This one, in direct line with his boarding house Work, has agreed also to take charge of the musical department. Terpsichore and Apollo have kindly aided him. A To whom the classes have been assigned, he has incurred the displeasure of the disinterested by permitting each student to see his own name in print. His duty it was, too, to collect cer- tain funds from the several classes. You may talk of the diffi- culties involved in Winning the favor of the Muse, you may talk of the dangers of riding the. goat-all these become mere chi1d's play as compared with the task of extorting from reluctant men a part of their hard-earned funds. Another has broken his heart with trying to think of a word in praise of our college gymnasium. At last, contenting himself with recording those who would be healthy and strong if oppor- tunity were offered, he dies. Last of all, three of our most business-like men will tell the readers for themselves that it is a darned hard task to hold up the business committee's end. Advertisers are to be solicited to benefit themselves by. a quarter of a page, publishers are to be negotiated With, purchasers are to be sought and found to pro- cure a copy of the book to benefit themselves and their posterity, etc,'etc. In short, our task is none of the lightest, our responsibility none of the least. Consider in detail the Work of the editor-in- chief, of him of the alumni department, of the poet, of the artist, of the secret exposer, of the chestnut vender, of the digester of indigestible food, of the student-delighter, of the seeker after 7
