T ilitnriall Explanations are very often best left unsaid or unwritten. Our friends do not need them and our enemies are usually unconvinced by them. Nevertheless it should be remembered that for financial reasons Very obvious to the initiated, the INDEX is limited to two hundred pages or thereabouts, including the advertising. Since there are certain matters of such general interest as class rolls, literary societies, athletic teams, social organizations and a host of others, that take up no small part of this space, it follows that what is left for the literary end is necessarily limited. In addition to these, this volume conta.ins more half-tones and zincs than any other INDEX ever published. We have chosen to give more space to the illustrations than to the class, club and other write-ups, believing that they would in the end be of more interest and importance. in in in It is much to be regretted that J. S. Weaver was unable to continue his connection with the Board until this volume was published. He proved an able and efhcient member ot the staff while in school. ui su in The greater part of the zine etchings in this INDEX are due to a for- mer loyal member of '05, Mr. George Goshorn, now of Columbus, O. Mr. Goshorn was very much interested in the success of the annual published by his class, and gave freely of his time and skill. The illustrations are by long odds the best ever secured by a Woosrnu INDEX Board. The editors are deeply indebted to Mr Goshorn For his interest and work- in in in To Miss Margaret Peebles, 708, and Mr. R. Brintnall, '07, the thanks ot the '05 Board are extended for their aid in illustrating this volume. 7

The College Yearg A Retrospect With the gracious consent of Gustavus Eberly, the instruction corps of the New Wooster opened the educational emporium on the Hill for the college year 1903-4. The customary rites and ceremonies were observed and a solemn and fitting dignity pervaded all. The old guard of students straggled in at odd hours during the week but bright and early there ap- peared an unusual crowd of novices to college Work. 4 These Freshmen, nearly one hundred strong, proved the right material to make the Ufs ,record keep pace With its material advances since the epoch-making ire. The class is well represented in athletics, social organ- izations, debating clubs and literary societies of the school. Briefly, '07 is a cause of satisfaction and congratulation. 71?

One new society, Philomathean, was organized during the first term and has attended strictly to business ever since. The newly formed Ruskin Club, whose avowed aim and purpose is a wider and more intimate knowledge of literature and art, is a welcome addition in lines literary and social. There are now six collegiate and three preparatory literary societies, three strong debating clubs and the organizations, Ruskin and The Stratford, help ing on the good Work of literary advancement in Wooster U. Our debating and oratorical attempts have resulted somewhat adversely, it must he admitted. Wooster received third place in the state contest, was soundly trounced by the squad from Delaware in the Hrst debate of the year and had the misfortune to lose the decision though winning the ques- 9
