“Q.C.G.”

It has taken an uncommonly long time to provide a local outlet for the literary abilities so often proved of the students of this successful College. Now, owing to some enterprise unprecedented in the dreary West, which became conspicuous in the last Session, this Magazine makes its appearance to disseminate the glowing sentiments of our youthful aspirants to the amaranthine bay.

We have tried to be representative of the various grades of society and genius to be met with in the College; of the pot-hunting athlete; of the light-hearted humorist, and (let us hope not to our destruction) even of the ladies whom University Education and the retrograde spirit of the times have reduced to the level of man.

And yet, so perverse and erratic is humanity, there will be found some who will say that mental dyspepsia follows, as a necessary result, an acquaintance with the literary pabulum which we provide. These shall we ask what caused our haggard brow and weary, if cheerful, smile, and remind that all beginnings are small and that we have started a vehicle for the best thoughts of the best students who shall throng the halls of this college even in future ages, until that sun which lights and warms a fruitful world goes a dull red cinder over a frozen earth, and the rigid figures of Professor and Student alike lie within the quadrangle of the icicle-covered College. This, I think, will be sufficient.
