Will you, kindly stop us in the street to tell us that the cover is unartistic, and the paper poor, the drawing wretched, and the jokes old? Will you write a nice little satirical review for the Lit, which picks out all our bad qualities, and says not a word about our few good ones? Will you send a copy to your best girl, with a little note inside, asking her to return the volume when she is through reading it, as you can't afford to buy two this year? Will you, in short, forget the anxious editor, who sits, worn out with toil and empty as to pocket, and strains his ears to catch the sound of the praise that is never spoken, and the shekels that never clink? You may not do all these things, but we fear you will. We expect that. We hardly dare to ask for more. And yet, most worthy patrons, this we do desire. Believe that, what- ever the results may be, our motives, at least, were good. We have tried to be fair in our jokes. We have tried to be easy with the habit-- ual butts of college wit, the men whom any one may joke about for nothing, and we may have touched a few who are not used to such treatment. If, by any chance, some one among you finds a grind upon himself that is not fair, we beg his pardon, and ask him to realize, if he can, however faintly, the dearth of matter that a GUL Board meets. For men must laugh, and the GUL come out, whatever be the consequences. But, to the winds with prefaces ! It is very easy and delightful to write of all the great things one is planning to do. A very little plan will sometimes bear an immense amount of explanation and comment- ary. Whether our good intentions have resulted in something sub- stantial, or must be relegated, with the great mass of their kind, to the proverbial pavement of-of-let us say Troy, for politeness' sake -judge now, all ye that read. 6 f i 1' 3 i i l ,L ,lil ? , li 1 i I N N 1 5 i f ,nl -,,,, 1' 1 y f i il ff l , 1 ll 2 3 it 4:47151 1, A ? w lla , .JV , -7, Y ' V iilr -'Rs-'X'-'Q V Lfif-'ilu i 1988 GuI!15
