i]ntrocluctiorL. r NOTHER year of college life has come and gone since the public jl were greeted with our predecessor ' s, 92 ' s, " Index. " It has undoubt- edly been perused again and again and at last been placed upon the shelf, side by side with similar volumes of former years. And now the students and friends of the M. A. C. are anxiously awaiting the debut of the twenty-third volume of the " Index. " We have endeavored to preserve the merits of former volumes and to make improvements wherever practicable. An important variation, in our opinion, has been made in the location of the alumni list, the idea being to bring the members of the college together and to facilitate refer- ence. It was thought best to enlarge the editorial board by the addition of one new member, for a reason which former editors, at least, can appre- ciate. It is difficult, for those who have never been in a similar position, to realize the amount of time and effort required to gather sufficient material for a publication of this kind. As the book has been enlarged from year to year by the addition of new features, the work has increased proportionally. Thus, in order that the work might be accomplished with less exertion to the individual, we have increased our editorial board from seven to eight. If the brief sketch of the professional life of each member of the faculty and of the positions held by each student in the various college organizations shall prove to be in any way helpful or interesting, we shall feel amply repaid for the labor which this new feature has necessitated. And now, fellow students, as we place this volume in your hands, we trust that you will read carefully and criticise gently, and that you will suffer no disappointment at the appearance of our " Index.
