Hamilton College - Hamiltonian Yearbook (Clinton, NY)

UR friends, owing to certain rumors and also owing to the frequency with which they have been assailed by members of the Board, may be under the impression that the 1900 HAMILTONIAN is to be something decidedly novel and revolutionary in the way of Hamilton College publications. Yet it needs but a glance to perceive that we have been controlled by no anarchistic ten- dencies. In some things indeed, which we deemed had been carried too far, have we attempted reform and only reform. We have conceived few if any new and original ideas and have sought only to improve the old. We do not feel that we need to call your attention to any additions or de- tractions ; to any improvements or alterations. On the other hand we do not wish our book to be judged by comparison but leave it to stand on its own merits, trusting that in it 1900 mly have a souvenir of one more achievement worthy of her reputation. You perhaps feel cheated by the delay in publication. We assure you that you have gained. The time has not been wasted. This book would not have been had we relied entirely upon our own abilities. Whatever success may attend it we assume only part of the credit. To our friends and especially to those of our alumni who have assisted us with their contributions is it due that it is what it is. We submit to you now the result of our eHorts knowing that it will soon be in dusty oblivion. As an editorial body we are dissolved. Our much labor is ended. Judge us not too harshly. We will never trouble you again. T It: Hamiltmzian Board -1
