THE GRIST iEidturial T is the customary duty and privilege of the Junior class to publish the college annual. This is sometimes a pleasure and sometimes quite the opposite, but the editorial board, members of the class, and friends have done their best, and this book is the result of their efforts. Its defects no one realizes more keenly than do the editors. Whatever merits it may possess, and we humbly hope there may be a few concealed here and there, may be ascribed to the loyal support of the class, and to the friends, both within and without the college, who lent their kind aid. As our college grows, the Grist must of necessity show a corresponding increase, both in size and complexity. This volume is slightly larger than its predecessors, and there are certain changes in its contents and arrangement. These changes were made with a view of giving the Grist a more permanent value to the student, without detracting from its interest. For instance, in adding photographs of the members of the faculty, we are introducing a feature which is found in the publications of many other colleges, and which may make the volume more valuable in future years. Incidentally, the task of collecting these photographs afforded the management much quiet fun: for it was remarkable how memories would lapse, anil how pictures, the existence of which was unsuspected, would be discovered at the last moment. On the pages devoted to athletics we have given, in place of the customary pen and ink sketches, more extended accounts of the various sports during the past year, and we hope the change will be for the better. There are also certain new features which we will allow to speak for themselves. The jokes and near jokes in this volume, have been gathered from a variety of sources, and their accuracy is not strictly guaranteed. In regard to these, we can honestly say that everything is intended in a spirit of fun, and nothing whatsoever in spite or malice. Our brief experience in collecting these has impressed upon us the readiness with which a joke on the other fellow is appreciated, but one that strikes too near home becomes a “knock. ’’ Therefore if a joke happens to touch vour sensitive spot, and bear in mind we don’t know where your sensitive spot is, before you go on the war path, just try, as a matter of justice, to look at the matter from the stand- point of the other fellow, and see if you, too, cannot see the joke. Following the established custom, we have become indebted to several friends for their kindness in making drawings for this volume. In this connection we wish to express our deep sense of gratitude to A. R. Lovewell of Lansing. Michigan, Miss M. I). Eldred, Messrs. C. B. Edwards, R. H. Wheeler, C. M. Bigelow and C. B. Sisson of the college. The accounts of the various clubs and classes were, in the main, written by a member of the different organizations and the Grist is also grateful for their services. We would also express our gratitude to our adver- tisers for their part in making this book a success, and incidentally advise you to look over the latter pages of this publication. They contain some interesting things. 6
