Editorial li are about to send this little volume, our humble effort to edit a book. out on its .journey into the great world. VVe trust that whoever may ehanee to read it will realize that the task of eom- piling its eontents has eansed the midnight oil to burn low on many oeeasions, and that you will forgive the defeets and look only at the merits, if any there be. YVe have not attempted to make this little book a model of beauty and thought to be pointed at with pride, sueh has not been our ambition. Our aim has been to ehroniele a few faets about the University of Mississippi's glorious sueeesses in 1914-. And 191+ was a glorious year at Ole Miss. But now, as the goal is drawing nigh. down the dim, shadowy paths of time on into the great unknown future the elass of 'I+ is passing. Passing from the mystic possibilities ot' eollege days into the realities of life. Years have marked the length of past friendships. but now as the end draws nearer days only mark the time till we must part, many of us never to meet again. There is a sad- ness in that parting: that severing of friendship formed by years of associa- tion: that leaving of seenes so familiar, so dear. But the great world out yonder is calling. and we must part. Out of the quiet harbor of childhood and college days we must pass through the portal on into the bustle and hurry of life. If ever in future days, when the battle is hard fought and almost lost, and the heart is siek, and the mind is weary, this little book should come as a reminder of the long gone, dream-riven past, of a friendship, of a love almost forgotten, then our ambition will have been attained, and our aim will have been aeeomplished.
