1lntrobuction. T has been said that one,s only excuse for writing a book is that he has some thing to say that is not being said. An excellent standard. One from which arises good reason for publishing this number of the X Ray. Unless we tell them, some things will never be told, and many a. pleasant memory, and, perchance, helpful suggestion will ever be wanting. Had our predecessors written all there is to be written of the previous history of our Alma Mater, the closing year has unfolded mysteries enough to fill a volume. Aside from that which is ludicrous.1 end from that which pertains to the social life of our school, there is much to be said. And here let it be said. With respect to the biography: t13E little use the man you may suppose Who says in verse what others say in prose. But, nevertheless, the verse, if good, will afford a pleasing variety; or, if bad, will make the prose better appreciated. It is just, however, to say that the Muse has not treated all alike; but this, she says. is because with all alike she has not been personally acquainted. Our indebtedness to our many friends we gladly acknowledge. Much sympathy has been tendered by the faculty. The alumni have shown their never-dying love and unwavering fidelity to their Alma Mater by a ready re- sponse to favors asked of them. As a body, the students have been with us, and have displayed their loyalty in that beforehand they have vowed their support to our enterprise. We shall doubtless understand hereafter the experience of Horace, since i: Zaedimm', Si qm's amicanwz est ausus repreudcrefi But let come what may, we are prepared. Attack us, we are fortified; come as friends, and we will entertain you. With these few introductory remarks, the class of ,00 presents this issue of the X Ray t0 the students and friends of Baldwin University. Yours truly, Foopbomore Gilasa. 5
