PREFACE. Xe O Alumni, Ex-students and Friends of an Institution which has half a century of noble life and useful' work securely in the past, we believe this little volume will prove interesting and pleasant. Wfith another consecrated and enthusiastic man as director of the best interests of Roanoke College, it enters upon a new era in its history. It is but natural, with these changed conditions, that ROENTGEN Rays should awaken from its Rip Van VVinkle slumber and breathe the air of a new life. To some, Ro15N'1'cs15N Rays, after a Eve years silence, will come as a familiar and welcomed friend. To others who have not had the pleasure or misfortune of making its acquaintance, we would say, that it is a College publication, gotten up by the students, but which dares not make its appearance before the public until it has passed under the searching but very lenient eyes of College Professors. Primarily this little volume is intended for the hnancial saving of our dear professors who otherwise would have to spend great sums of money for individual photographs of all the students to keep con- stantly before them, because they were all such faithful workers that the professors look with keen anticipation to the time when each shall be a power in the world and do great honor to his professor. Another and no less important purpose of this volume is to show the world that here at Roanoke we are growing more Miltons, Shake- speares, Napoleans and XVashingtons, and that those whose faces appear oftenest are the strongest candidates for these honors. Again, we wish to remind those who have gone forth from OLD Roaxokii that other students are now here going through the training which prepared them for the battles of life, and that as soon as we have mastered the Campus, Greek roots, Latin verbs, Sophomore Mathe- matics, and learned well how to can cows, grease black-boards, make love to the innocent Salem girls and receive our lamb fleeces at com- mencement, we will join them in singing the praises of our Alma Mater. To many who have tasted of the Pierian waters of Roanoke, we Hatter ourselves that this little volume will come as a welcomed friend, helping them to live over again their College days, and to feel once again that bouyant force of youth when aspirations were limited only by the infinite realm of space, and stores of potential energy found vent by making nights hideous for weary slumbers or transferring KQ'l'l7fIlT the
