Lehigh University - Epitome Yearbook (Bethlehem, PA)

Page 31 text:

OUR months of toil are over, and we are now able to introduce to you the Twentieth Volume of the Epitome. We have gathered together, in a permanent form, the numerous and varied happenings of one year of college life; a year that has been very momentous in the history of Leh ' gh. It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow that we are obliged to record the death of Dr. Coppee, the first president of the University, acting president at the time of his death, and one who had devoted the best years of his life to her cause. We are able to print a portrait of Dr. Drown, our new president, who enters upon the duties of his office in June, and who we are sure will be wel- comed with feelings of the warmest pleasure by every undergraduate here. The adoption of the honor system, and the change in the management of the Athletic Association are two other important factors of the year ' s histor}-. We have not striven to branch out widely in any new directions, but rather to enlarge and improve upon the lines that have already served so well. To this end we have been particularly careful in the preparation of all statistics, and though errors may still exist, we trust they have been reduced to a mini- mum. The artistic work is more abundant than usual, and we have spared neither pains nor expense in having it properly reproduced. Finally, we have eliminated a feature that undoubtedly has always caused more pain than amuse- ment — the printing of cruel personalities. To all those who have helped us in the preparation of this work, we take this opportunity of extending our hearty thanks ; and hoping most sincerely that these, our efforts, may be received with favor by the University and all its friends, we are The Editors.
