FOREWORD m The faults of our brothers we write upon the sands; their virtues, upon the tablets of love and memory. — Shakespeare. It is pleasant to think of the happy days of the past, and that which serves to recall them is a thing to be treasured. Sometimes a relic of bygone days brings back happenings in a way that makes their re-living both interesting and delightful, and even the most trivial object seems possessed of the power of flooding us with the joyous memories of years. A broken toy, happened on in an old attic, may serve to fill us with many vivid recollections of boy- hood days, and afford us the magic power of leaping back and living again the most pleasant hours of life. That this volume may serve in some measure to keep alive the happy memory of college days is the earnest desire of those who have written its pages. If, in the years to come, the men of ' 24 will treasure this book as an active memento of the days they spent on the Heights, if the years add each a little more value to the memories it contains, then its end will have been served, and the efforts spent on its production well repaid. Herein are recounted the past doings of the men of 1924. May their future achievements be written in large letters in the book of life. In reading the write-ups of the various members of the class, we hope that our readers will not be too critical. All that is said in those pages is said in good spirit, and if some statements appear to be exaggerated, let the reader take them cum grano salis. Though all the fond hopes expressed herein may not be realized, for the present we are content to be sanguine and optimistic. Be patient with us. Reader. The Editor.
