Oofeooo ( ===fll EDITORIAL tDQ? dlfe mm 00-C3000 GUIS volume marks a new era in the publication of the Prism. For the last half decade the same ideas of arrangement have been preva- lent ; in addition, an ever-increasing cloud of debt has hung over each successive business manager. Realizing the need of a change in the financial administration of such a publication, the faculty have asserted their authority and limited the cost to almost half that of previous years. At the beginning of the present college year, the Prism board was confronted with the task of publishing such a lxx k at such a low cost, knowing full well, on the other hand, that the student body would expect a volume of the same high standard as in previous years. Therefore, our task has been no small one, and has necessitated many changes from the past. it is peculiarly fitting that this volume should be dedicated to President Rob- ert J. Aley. Dr. Aley undertook the responsibilities, and entered into the activi- ties of this I'nversity life at the same time that we, as a hesitating, unknown Fresh- man class, crossed the threshold. We, therefore, feel it our privilege and our pleasure to dedicate this small work to him. Realizing our inability and lack of qualification as an editorial board, we have reached out and departed from the customs of the past by calling for aid upon our alumni and friends. They have gladly consented to our requests and consequently we present much that is a result of their endeavors. Knowing the need of an accurate summarization of football as it has progressed at this University since its establishment in 1892. we have endeavored, to the best of our ability, to present to you a record of the game as told by former players and followers, showing its ad- vancement to those glorious victories of the last two years. Furthermore, we feel that editors in the past have many times covered a greater period of events than was fitting for the systematic arrangement of the book. When we took up the thread of these college activities we found that much material that was rightfully ours had been used before. This will serve to explain the appearance of some few events which have previously been presented. The college happenings from February, 1912, to February, 1913. are to be pictured in this volume. We are well aware that any publication will be open to the criticism of the many, and to the praise »f the few. )ur task, as already explained, has been of necessity a difficult one; many departments have only been briefly treated, but in no other way could we serve our University and yet accede to her wishes. For the appreciation of those few we shall be doubly grateful, knowing that our efforts were not entirely fruitless. 26
