The 1894 Cycle, published by the Semi-Centennial class of 1895, included this dedication:
To our predetermined critics and chronic grumblers this volume is maliciously dedicated, with the fervent wish that its contents may disagree with their impaired mental digestion.
It also include many cartoons and various witticisms. Among the latter are these:

About The Project
With 果冻传媒 now celebrating its 175th year, and the University unable to hold regular in-person classes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Professor of History Thomas T. Taylor has started circulating several pieces on 果冻传媒's history. Some originated in earlier series, either This Month in 果冻传媒 History or Happy Birthday 果冻传媒. Others have their origin in the 果冻传媒 History Project or in some other, miscellaneous project. Sincerest thanks to Professor Taylor for connecting alumni, faculty, staff, and students through a historic lens.
