Hamilton College - Hamiltonian Yearbook (Clinton, NY)

Page 8 text:

F0l'2WOl'd HE series of HAMILTONIANS, the annual publication of the junior class of Hamilton College, was begun by the Class of Eighteen Hun- dred Fifty-Eight. In presenting this, the seventy-seventh of the series, we have endeavored to produce a book embodying the principles which domi- nated the labors of those young men of three-quarters of a century ago. Is it not true that the purpose of such a book is to provide the reader with a com- prehensive and accurate record of that particular year in the history of our college? We sincerely believe sog and we have subordinated all else to this end. In the past few years HAMILTONIANS have been cast in much the same mold-a few minor changes here and there, to be sure, but, generally speaking, they have been pretty well conventionalized. At the risk of being accused of old-fashionedness and lack of originality, we have contented our- selves in following the beaten path. Hamilton is essentially a conservative college, and it is only consistent that its yearbook should be conservative. To the casual reader it will soon become apparent that the book has been constructed with an eye to economy. Simplicity is of necessity our dominat- ing theme, and circumstances have forced some omissions which we think would be worthy of inclusion-the most notable being, of course, the feature section. And so, we must throw ourselves on the mercy of the reader, who has perhaps been struck himself by the stern hand of the Depression. We could have done a book more pleasing to the eye, and perhaps more satisfac- tory-we would have liked to. As it is, we must solace ourselves with the thought that we, to the best of our ability, have devoted these simple pages to the Hamilton we all love.
