Editorial THE 1921 Aurora is before the public. Whether it is all that has been hoped for it is to be judged by others than ourselves. Our book, for which we certainly cannot claim the quality of faultlessness, must meet the invariable fate of all such publications — criticism. We have, however, no apologies to offer. We have done our best to impart to our production, by means of honest workmanship and what originality we may possess, that degree of excellence which will insure for it not only an immediate, but a lasting interest. That we have succeeded in some measure will, we sincerely trust, be the decision of its readers. There are different kinds of annuals. Some are to be looked through, smiled at, and laid aside, possibly to be forgotten, while others are of more permanent interest. We have tried to make our Aurora one which you will enjoy looking through and reading in years to come. A college of our type has so many and so widely diversified interests that an adequate portrayal of them is difficult in a volume so small. We have endeavored, however, not only to picture our school life as it is, but to give the different departments representation in keeping with their im- portance. It has been our aim, moreover, to produce a book which will not only be of interest to the students, but which may be appreciated, as well, by our large and faithful constituency who are not in immediate touch with the University, and who have not a first-hand knowledge of, or familiarity with, the students and their activities. We have enjoyed our work. The unstinted support and co-operation of the students and the members of the faculty have been greatly appre- ciated. The staff has shown from the start a confidence and a loyalty which have made our work easy. To those whose pleasant task it will be to edit the 1922 Aurora we say : May your achievement be greater than ours. Avoid our mistakes and im- prove upon our successes. Aim high. Be sure you are right, and then go ahead. A courageous heart and a cheery smile will banish the worst of difficulties. Above all, ask the blessing of God upon your work. Never falter or look back, for in due season your reward will come and your Aurora will be a glorious success. Twelve
