have set a pace far ahead of any before realized. This is the proper spirit lor such institutions to take and the annual management lias attempted to widen the path made by the pioneers in this work, as far as possible, and in a slight degree, at least, to make steps toward the upbuilding of an Annual which will be a credit to our college. This work is necessarily slow and requires the mutual help of the students and faculty. It is the sincere desire oi the editor of this book to see the Annual improved each year until no institution can l oast of a better one. A idea is therefore made to students and faculty to do all in their power to assist in the perfection of future publications. The greatest factor in accomplishing this end is to comply with requirements made of you by the editor. Remember that he has many cares and responsibilities in making up a volume of this kind. If asked for a photo of certain specifications, do not wait to be notified five or six times, but try to meet the wishes of the editor promptly, and spare him the necessity of spending several hours to secure one of the many pictures which must he had to make the publication possible. Don't think that he is starting too early, and that there is plenty of time several months hence ior you to do your part, because where the work must necessarily fall upon a very few persons, too early a start is impossible, and unforeseen delays are bound to creep in. We wish to thank the student body for the efforts they have made to help ir this publication, and for the hearty support they have given. The 1911 Annual is completed. Our small work is finished. Xext year the responsibility will fall upon other heads, and if this book proves in any way to be a stepping stone on the pleasant path 01 perfecting the Junior Annual, our time and labor is repaid a thousand fold. ;

S t nt t u i S ANO'l HER college year draws to a close it may he well to pause for a moment and briefly review, at least, some of the many events that have contributed to its success. It seems to have always been the custom in all such reviews to speak of the particular year a the most successful one in the history of the institution. Perhaps this is sometimes due to the fact that the writer was an optimist, but nevertheless it has been the ease. So it is with this year. Like others perhaps that will succeed it 1909-10 has really been in many particulars the most brilliant period in the history of M. A. C., and so it is with the greatest of pleasure that a brief outline of it is here set down, not simply because the present students have profited by it. but because they earnestly hope and feel they have a right to believe that as time a t r n r f a Roes on future students will still be reaping the harvest from the seeds of prosperity that have been sown this year. While the rceord in football was not noted for its victories it is left in the students' memories as a season not to be regarded as a failure. Although the team failed to win we feel proud, and justly so. of the effort it put forth and the spirit of determination it showed from the beginning of the season to the end. Handicapped by lack of experience and promising material there was little hope for a winning team, nevertheless there is satisfaction in knowing the games were desperately fought, and that the boys did their best. With basketball it has been the same old story—intercollegiate champions of the state of Montana. The season’s end left M. A. C. with this honroed title for the fifth successive
