Fl T S 1 PUBLICATIONS The Syllabus Assuming the same attitude toward the problem ol' publishing a Syllabus as we had toward the carrying out of every' other established precedent, that is to equal or better what has been done .hel'ore, we made provisions for getting together an ellicient and smooth working organization. We took the lirst step in this direction when. as Sophomores, we appointed an observationboard tocoiiperate with the Junior Stall, and to study their methods. LaFayette li.. Marchand, William li. Pelkus, and Mvah B. Wheeler were the men selected for this work, with the understanding that they would form part ol' our .lunior Syllabus Board, which would select. the stall. Our plans worked out well, beyond expectation. and when in the l'all the l'ull Syllabus Board gathered together to make its selections l'or the stall', they did so with a W11-UAMR-l'ELKUS 'thorough knowledge ol' the requisites attendant with the various positions and consequently were better able to select the men most qualified for the respective positions. lmmcdiately following the appointments. the stall' under the leadership ol' William R. Pelkus, our editor-in-chicl', decided on an entirely new policy, the keynote ol' which was to make the book more personal and again more personal. We decided that our Faculty department should have more of this personal touch and witness the result. We also favored an individual write-up for each member of the class, this to be added to the usual list of activities. 'Much ol' the credit for the fine work done in this department goes to Robert M. Richmond who did the lion's sha1'e of the writing. He was assisted by Chester Hacker. As a manager, our editor-in-chief scored heavily. Under his leadership the rather large stall' was kept working smoothly, efficiently, and in harmony. Our managing editor, Russell Norton, found ample opportunity to put his training in System building to good use in checking up on the return proofs from the .lin- graver and the Printer. The various department editors kept Lalfayette L. Marchand busy answering questions, for his duties as Literary editor consisted in planning the general policy concerning the literary style and the general make-up of the book. We are proud of the originality of our board of strategy, William R. Pelkus and LaFayette L. Marchand, who conceived the idea of introducing the new departments, Events of the Year, and Grinds, with its novel newspaper section. The business side of our publication was equally well taken care of. ln fact, the quality of its work was what made it possible for us, as a stall. to put out so superior and so much more expensive a book with so slight an increase in price. Jose A. lVIayoral proved a shrewd business man, and Charles C. Johnson a per- suasive salesman of advertising space. lftlilw'-in-Clzief 247
