Greeting To the Students, faculty, alumni. and friends of the University, we present this volume with a mixed feel inn of confidence and uncertainty; uncertainty because we do not know whether it will measure up to the standards that their expectancy may have invoked; confidence because we know that we have spared no labor in its production; that we have utilized the limited means at our command to the best of our nbility. and that hence, despite its many possible short-coming such in- dulgence as we may merit, w ill be accorded us. and the l ook will be received with the good will that is engendered by the true spirit of patriotism that emanates from our Alma Mater, to find a safe resting place in the heart of every student, faculty-meml er. alumnus and friend. We trust that it may serve as a pleasant souvenir of “the days that are no more,' or as a suggestion of the more prosperous and. we hope, more glorious days that will be.
