To the memory of the Captain who led the students of '61 to a glorious death or a heroic life; of the professor who, for more -=--=-~"' than a quarter of a century after- ;--:- ~-':.- wards, guided the attendants at this University both in learning and in liv- !); ing; to the memory of that band of boys which gave this University the ~ honor of sending forth the only dis- tinctly college company which fought i-----n-- ~ throughout the war of the States ; to ~ the memory of JAMES JoNES WHITE AND THE LIBERTY HALL VoLUNTEERS this book is affectionately dedicated. JAMES JONES WHITE. OVERTURE This, the fifth volume of THE CALY X, is thrust upon an over credulous and unsuspecting student body (credulous as to our ability and unsuspecting as to our lack of it) with fear and trembling. We have violated the eleventh commandment-we have been found out-and our sin will ever be held before us by those who trusted us. Consider, however, that the editors are taking their first fling at publishing a college annual and that the management is sadly crippled by the financial burden left upon the stu dents by the football season, and let these facts, to some extent, stifle crit icism and mitigate the horrors of this book.
