Editorial Foreword THE editors in preparing the thirteenth number of the Akiiutus have taken up the challeng-e of no former class. Xor do we throw the challenge at the feet of the classes that are to follow us. We have endeavored only to use economically the means at our disposal. We have not been so eager to break all former records as to forget that we have no right to incur obligations which we cannot reasonably expect to fulfill. Our aim has been to portray the life which we find around us ; to go more into detail in setting forth student activities than have previous numbers: to present the record of a class which has played well its part in four years of Indiana ' s history. We feel that a return to the former style of upright book is justifiable. This number will fit nicely into the shelves of any library. This bespeaks for it a better fate than to be placed under the center table or bed. We have given ou literary material in digestible form by running the stories and verse at intervals throughout the book instead of grouping them under one formidable title, Literary Department. That the book may better with- stand the knocks to which college annuals are heir, we have stifl: ' ened its back. C ur jokes and jabs we have handed out pretty generous!}- and generally. I ' ut we have poked fun at only those persons who we felt would enjoy the joke and have left out grinds on those whose sense of humor is questionable. ' e extend our thanks to every member of the class and to every friend outside the class who has aided in the success of the book. Among the latter thanks are especially due to Harry G. Newton, who has furnished us the designs for the Senior pictures. Also Prof. E. O. Holland for the article on Indiana Universitv.
