From the Archives: First AY 1993-94 Sesquip Issue

As our first "From the Archives" feature of the academic year we bring you the first paragraph from "The SESQUIPEDALIAN WEEKLY HERALD", Volume IV, Number 1, from September 30, 1993.

"And now, the moment that a couple of you have been waiting for: Here it is, the new volume of the Sesquipedalian, your friendly neighbourhood linguisitics newsletter.  To the regular readers: Both of you may be dismayed to find that we're rather long on news and short on fluff in this first issue... so sue us.  Or more constructively, submit to us.  Your humble Quippers are mere overworked linguistics staff (sorry about the redundancy there) who beg, borrow and steal (mostly steal) this material from dark corners, dusty stacks of unread papers, the undersides of wet stones, python's lairs, etc., all in our extremely non-copious free time.  Clearly, we don't have time to come up with much that's original, so please feel free (read: obligated) to to write amusing things and send them to [address deleted]  or place them in the Quip box in the department."

And once again we urge you to submit your news to the Sesquip at sesquip [at] gmail.com (sesquip[at]gmail[dot]com)!
