NORMAL OFFERING 9 iihitnrial. GAIN, it is June, and all Normal is eagerly awaiting the day when the 1920 Normal Offeringnwill beready fordistribution. As editors of this volume of the Normal Offering, we have en- deavored faithfully to keep this yearis issue up to the standards of other years, and yet to improve it. This has been no easy thing to do, for the standard set for us in past years has been a high one and one difficult to improve. However, we have at least tried, and in this, the twenty-second volume of the Normal Offering we offer you our best efforts. It is always the aim of the editors, year after year, to build a more worthy and lasting monument in the form of the Normal Offering, and this year we hope we have not fallen short in our attempts. This year has been an exceptionally hard one for the board of editors, for any number of reasons, evident to all, and yet we venture to say that there has never beena better spirit of co- operation existing between the Editor-in-Chief and the members of her staff. .The Editor-in-Chief wishes to take this opportunity to thank the following people who have been of such great help to her, that she feels that these few words fall very far short of ade- quately expressing her thanks. To the Assistant Editor Miss MacPherson, and the Art Edi- tors, Miss White and Miss MacCarthy: In the history of the Normal Offering we have not had a more capable and efficient Assistant Editor than it has been our privilege to work with this year. As for the Art Editors, we feel that, to a great extent, the success of this volume is due to your untiring efforts and skillful accomplishments. To the Associate Editors: We can only say that if in years to come the Editors-in-Chief have as willing and capable a board of Associate Editors, then indeed will they be fortunate. To Miss Moses, Miss Pierce, and Mr. Jackson: We extend our hearty thanks to the members of the English
