To all these people we hope that you find in the Thistle not just pleasant thoughts of good times hut a memory of Carnegie Tech and all that it stands for. We hope that you will want to maintain that spirit of college and return Tech to its old glory and standing after looking through this edition of the Thistle and seeing how nobly and well Tech has carried on in this time of war. Some of the old organizations that were a part of Tech have disappeared for the duration, while others have risen to prominence. The war and the shortage of men students are responsible for these changes, as well as for the fact that girls have shown their ability and ambition in carrying on capably in positions formerly held by men.

This book which you are holding contains a record of our humble efforts toward this end.
