Foreword ITHIN THE COVERS of this book, the 1921 Volume of the Blue and Gold, we have endeavored to include those records of the past year which we believe, in the years to come, will serve as pleasant memories for the members of our class, and will call forth the wondrous reminiscences of their undergraduate days. There is no doubt that we have failed to include records of incidents, personalities, and places that are dear in the hearts of many. For this, we are indeed sorry, and if it should happen, that in so doing we have offended any one, we take this opportunity to beg forgiveness. The wealth and quantity of material available for a book such as this can not be measured, and it is, indeed, no light task to eliminate from its pages all extraneous matter. We realize the possibility of overdoing any certain subject, and that in spite of our efforts parts of the book may prove unin- teresting or even tiresome to some; thus defeating our primary aim, to compile a concise and relevant record. If we have been able to place before you the material in our possession in a coherent and satisfactory manner we have accomplished our purpose, and we hope that editors of the Blue and Gold in future years will receive both aid and in- spiration from our successes and failures.
