Agnes Scott College - Silhouette Yearbook (Decatur, GA)

A Word from the Editors ITH this issue the Agnes Scott Annual again makes its appear- ance after an intermission of two years. In some respects, how- ever, this is not a continuance of the former one. In the first place it has be-en more decidedly a private enterprise of the stir- dents. The entire responsibility has rested upon them. Then a new name graces our volume. When the former Annual was discontinued, its title, Aurora, was bequeathed to the monthly publication of the two societies. The new name appealed to us as peculiarly fitting, since it has been our aim to cast upon these pages a silhouette, as it were, of our life at Agnes Scott — an existence itself as transient and flitting as firelight shadows. It is merely an outline that we have tried to present, but we trust we have done it well enough, dear reader, to bring before you the whole picture. And we beg your kind indulgence. We have done our best. The compilation of this volume has been a pleasure to us, for we hoped that it would contribute not only to our own enjoyment, but to that of others also. And if, perchance, there be anything included between these covers that may disclose the oddities and eccentricities of any of our fellows let it be remembered that it has been done with the kind intention of giving as true an idea as possible of the people and events that go to make the history of our year just past. All history is but the biography of great men. We hope that our great men will not have any cause to say, after reading the Silhouette, Blessed are the people whose annals are vacant. And now we would thank all those who have in any way been of service to us. Especially are the business managers indebted to Dr. Arbuckle for his constant aid and advice. The editors are under obligations to Miss Lytle, Miss McKinney, and Miss Louise Ivcwis for many helpful suggestions.
