Preface. In view of the fact that six years have now elapsed since the publica- tion of the last Reveille, a word of apology or explanation may seem ap- propriate before venturing to add this volume to the great mass of college literature printed annually. The financial failure of previous issues of the book in a large measure accounts for the abandonment of its publication g and however va- riously attributed may be the causes of this failure, the fact still remains that small inducements for the undertaking have been extended since 1894. Thus in reviving it we have assumed a responsibility by no means light, for while the success of the present issue would doubtless afford a sufficient guarantee for the continuance o-f tfhe Reveille as an annual publication, nevertheless its failure wrould as surely discourage and suppress similar efforts in the future. In preparing this issue the editors have aspired to make it new and original in so far as its newness is not displeasing nor its originality offen- sive. Yet for the most part we have had in view but one aim, the single purpose of presenting in the following pages a fair and faithful representa- tion of our Alma Mater in every aspect of college life. In carrying out this design we have desired to convey, as far as we are able to interpret them, the sentiment and opinion of the whole institution, rather than the preju- dice and personal feelings of any individual, faction, or class, To whatever extent we have succeeded too much credit cannot be ascribed to our numerous friends in other classes who have encouraged and materially aided us in the work, and to the vigorous and unselfish spirit with which that assistance was rendered. Wfe take this opportunity gratefully to acknowledge our indebtedness and to return our sincere thanks. If in days -to come, when these leaves are turned again in memory of past years, this little record of Kenyonian doings shall serve to reawaken pleasant recollections of the good times gone by, -and tio revive the happy scenes of undergraduate -days, we shall feel that our efforts have not gone unrewarded. VVe extend you all a cordial greeting, trusting that our book may re- ceive from you a warm and approving welcome. THE REVEILLE BOARD.
