GREETING It is with unfeigned diffidence that we make our bow to the pubUc and crave the indulgence of our friends. In this age when new books crowd each other Hke snowflakes in a storm, it is customary for the author of every new publica- tion to apologize most humbly for inflicting a new burden on the reading public. Of course no one except the writer ever reads this preface, but when his book falls into the hands of his literary friends, and the author is almost ashamed to show himself in polite society, it is a great solace to him to see his apology in print and reflect that at least he has made the amende honorable to the world. We therefore offer the usual apology for the shortcomings of the editorial staff, but for the publication of the annual no apology is necessary. The book is needed by the boys of the Memphis University School, and without it the work of the past session would be incomplete. Here will be found in durable form the records of our athletic teams, i.f which we may justly feel proud. Here, too. 25
