FOREWORD With greetings and best wishes to all we send forth this little volume. We hope that the 1917 GRIST will afford durable pleasure to both graduates and undergraduates and that it will meet the traditional aim in that it will be a pleasing and lasting memento of the fast fleeting days spent at Rhode Island. We have concentrated our efforts in making the 1917 GRIST meet these requirements. We hope we have suc- ceeded and trust that our efforts will be appreciated so that all just criticism may be softened by such appreciation.
