\chapter{Introduction}
-\epigraph{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
-consectetuer adipiscing elit.}{Anonymous}
+\epigraph{The last years of the eighteenth century are broken by a
+discontinuity similar to that which destroyed Renaissance thought at
+the beginning of the seventeenth.}{Michael Foucault, \emph{The Order
+of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences}}
The text above is an \emph{epigraph}. In this typeface, you can have
text in \textbf{boldface}, \emph{italics}, \textbf{\emph{bold
italics}}, \textsl{slanted}, and \textsc{Small Caps}.
+Adjust the commands in the preamble of the main file provided
+(that's \verb+sample-thesis.tex+, which you should probably rename to
+something more descriptive, like \verb+your-name-thesis.tex+) if you
+don't like how this page looks. E.g., you can provide other options for a
+different font, or remove the \verb+manuscript+ option for a smaller
+font (11~pt) and one-and-a-half linespacing, for a neater, more
+compact look. See the \verb+README+ file or the comments in the main
+file for details.
+
+The appearance of chapter and section heads, the table of contents,
+footnotes, epigraphs (like the one above), and many other book design
+elements are controlled by commands provided by the \verb|memoir|
+class, which this thesis style uses. Consult the
+\href{https://ctan.org/pkg/memoir}{memoir manual} if you want to
+change it. However, the standard layout, page numbering, table of
+contents, etc., as provided by the \verb|ucalgmthesis| class complies
+with the requirements of the
+\href{https://grad.ucalgary.ca/current-students/thesis-based-students/thesis/building-thesis}{University
+of Calgary thesis formatting guidelines} (July 13, 2018 version).
