THE GRIST As the wheels of time slowly but surely turn, and each college duty and privilege is handed down to the classes following, the class of 1911 has the honor of publishing this annual. It has not been all fun, and indeed most of the time spent on it has been devoted to good, hard, earnest work. And yet there are none who will more fully realize its defects than ourselves. If we only had the work to do over again — but why wish for that? We have had our turn and have done our best in the allotted time. Whatever there is in it that is pleasing or interesting we wish to share the honor of with those who so kindly helped us, and lent their needed aid. This year at the college has seen more growth in different lines than probably any previous one. So, also, The Grist has grown. In order to keep up with the general expansion, The Grist must of necessity be made larger and better, and this has been our aim in the present volume. It is an acknowledged fact that pictures show more clearly and completely the changes in a place than any other one thing; and having this in mind, we have published a larger number than has ever been done before. The athletic activities are to the average student the greatest source of interest, and so we have tried to write up these departments in such a way as to give in considerable detail that which the undergraduate likes best to read, and which should certainly go down as history. Next to the interest in athletics comes that in the principal social events of the year, and in describing these in detail we have added, to our minds, more value to the book as a reminder of happy days spent at Kingston Hill. The accounts of the different organizations show each in its own way the modest parts that these have played in the social life of the past year. It is the ambition of each editorial board to have certain new features in the annual. In this connection it may be said that more sleep was lost over this very matter than over anything else and with the least success. Hut if you will carefully read the following pages you will be partially rewarded, for our efforts along this line were not entirely in vain. Of the chaff that has been blowing about the campus for the last year, some has been collected and sifted out. The results of this work will be found in the last part of the book. All good things are left to the last, and that is the reason why the humorous calendar and the grinds have been placed where they ar e. Of these self- 6
