Adelphi University - Oracle Yearbook (Garden City, NY)

Page 8 text:

Preface. The Editor-in-Chief realizes fully that the preface of a book is the only effusion that is never read; yet custom decrees that a few words be said. We present this 1908 Oracle to you with the earnest hope that it will fulfill the purpose for which we have striven—to in- crease our affection and loyalty for Adelphi. Realizing that our College is increasing and growing stronger year by year, we have sought to have our book keep pace with the College advance- ment. Toward this goal, we have taken the liberty of changing the exterior aspect of the book, in cover, design and size. We have to some extent modified the former policy of “ knocks ” and grinds —especially concerning the faculty, as a mark of re- spect and in view of the fact that they publish no Oracle in which they may retaliate. We trust that these changes may be met with approval. For the bock’s deficiencies,—and we realize too well that it has its share,—we offer our apologies; for its worth, we crave your appreciation. May this volume be esteemed a product worthy of the Class of Nineteen Eight and our Alma Mater.
