WE are having a foreword because Hobie says Mr. Clarke says it will look better, and we are ver} ' particular about looks. So far as we know, no class has ever had a foreword before, which was rather against it to Leila, the conservative member of our board, but when we pointed out to her that it would be a good place to state our motto, she was reconciled to it. She thinks a good deal of that motto, does Leila; in fact, we all do, when it comes to that, and it seems as if the class were with us. Our motto is There is no hurry. Some of them wanted Haste makes waste, but that seemed to us to be a bit stereotyped, and we are nothing if not spontaneous. It is our conviction that to a patient class like 1911, a mere matter of a week or so, or perhaps a year or so, sooner or later, principally later, will make no difference at all, and though we are natu- rally spontaneous, we are capable of living up to our convictions. Besides, we will all enjoy reading the class book to our grandchildren more, if it hasn ' t been about the house too long. For ourself, we fancy something fresh for grandchildren — it seems more wholesome. We hope that other classes, who have known us in college, may sometimes care to look over and read our book. We hope English readers will not, or, if they do, will omit the foreword, as we are painfully conscious of a lack of transition just here. And we will be glad if any of our friends find anything to interest them in these pages. But, in explanation more than in apology, we announce here that this book is primarily for the Class of 1911 and wholly by and about the Class of 1911. We are deeply and frankly interested in ourselves as a class, and now that we are out of college, we want, more than ever, to emphasise our entity and continued existence as a class. Few of us can write well, those who can do not put their fine writing here. Here it is our pleasure to recall and to record any- thing that brings back the spirit of the class, both serious and gay — not only events and experiences at Bryn Mawr, but all the characteristics, even to follies and shortcomings, that we shared, and that bound us more closely together. In short, a frank case of spread-peacock. Now we have written a foreword — quite the first that has ever come from our honest pen. You may say what you like about it, we suppose that, like most work of human hands, it has its defects, but, take it all in all, it is a foreword, and as such we glory in it. We herewith have the honour of presenting the book of the Class of 1911. Marion Stubges Scott. 426411
