IPpefaee. THE Epitome Board has but few words to say in presenting this issue of the Lehigh annual. The task of editing and ilhistrating the book is, in some respects, one of the most difficult imposed upon mem- bers of the University. Being published under the auspices of one class, The Epitome has rarely been free from exhibitions of class spirit and personal abuse. The day for this is past. At the first meeting of the ' Eighty-nine Board it was decided with entire unanimity to depart from the old custom and omit all literary matter of questionable appropriate- ness. The exception was made, however, in favor of a few pages of the usual Quotations and Grinds, which, in general, tend to relieve the possible monotony of the book ' s essentially statistical character. The aim of a college annual is, as we take it, to preserve records, ath- letic and otherwise, and to provide lists of undergraduate organizations. With this in view, we have endeavored to present these data in as attrac- tive a form as possible, embellished with considerable artistic work. Be- lieving that contributions in the latter department should be no more confined to the Epiiome Board or even to the Junior Class than the pub- lication itself is the exclusive representative of that class, we have made calls upon various members of the University, and have been gratified by the hearty and material responses. To such as have aided us artistically we desire to extend our warmest acknowledgments. Several new features have been added. The department of Histori- cal Memorabilia is one which, from its present and, in particular, its future value, will, we trust, be permanent in succeeding Epitomes. The fact that this is the thirteenth and not the fourteenth volume of the book, was called to our notice too late for correction in the title page. The mistake was originally made when the Epitome issued by the whole University w as called Volume XI instead of ' olume X. With these few prefatory remarks we surrender the ' 89 Epitome into the hands of our readers with the hope that it may be found worthy of the class under whose auspices it is published and of the institution which it represents. 8
