-- From The Editor

This most wondrous of times, this youth of eternity, as heir to those ancient times, and parent to the future, is forever a "new era" to the mind on an Uncyclopedian. That all we have learn'd and the many questions and new learnings to come, will bring forth the sum of all knowledge, and bind us as one in the quest for these most highest of ideals.
That we as students in the Art of Uncyclopedic Studies, and as gentlemen in the service of her most gracious majesty, may stand at this time before you, bereft of all pretentiousness in the fullness of our quest....
