Entered according to College custom in the Library of the University of Pennsylvania as a Souvenir of the Class of Eighty-Seven . 4 Introductory . NE of the chief requisites of a Nineteenth Cen- tury book is a good preface, and it is therefor e with some hesitation that the committee ven- tures to send forth the RECORD OF THE CLAS S of '87," with nothing more formidable than a prefatory note to introduce it . The committee for a long time recognize d the fact that there was something lacking i n modern English literature, and that there wa s a crying need for a work which should fill the deficiency . Excellent as are the literary contributions of Howells, James, Haggard, Dr . M'Cosh , Dean Stanley, Matthew Arnold, and Peck, of the Milwaukee Sun, and, in a somewhat different, though equally important field, the works o f Professors John G . R. McElroy and Albert S . Bolles—admirable as al l these efforts undoubtedly are, still the Ultima Thule of desirability ha s not yet been reached. Strongly impressed with the necessity of doing away with thi s reproach to literature, the committee has determined to give to the worl d this RECORD of the unexampled career of an unexampled class. Exactly how the book is to supply the need on account of which it was created , will become evident as the reader approaches the southern cover . Th e contents of the RECORD will be seen to be at once explanatory an d definitive, narrative and descriptive, argumentative and excitatory, per- suasive and conclusive . The style in which it is written is both patheti c and amusing, sacred and profane . If the last-named element shoul d ever seem to attain to undue proportions, the committee begs the reade r to weigh well the enormous effect of childhoods influences, and to b e lenient with those whose early education was left to the care of such me n as the Reverend Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, D . D . Many friends—more than could be readily mentioned here—hav e helped the committee in its work . Besides the classmates, whos e personalities are but partially concealed in the work which they hav e contributed, the Faculty of the University of Pennsylvania is deservin g of especial thanks . To the Faculty the committee owes what is wort h more than help—inspiration during hours of gloom, and also a never - failing butt for all gibes and jokes . Mr. Syle having left for parts unknown, the RECORD is not provided with an index . The Committee . UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA , June 6, 1887 .
