College of Wooster - Index Yearbook (Wooster, OH)

Qs S CAUTION The Index is not essentially a joke, and who so regards it, overlooks the Annualis chief mission. The volume is the only record of events social, athletic, political, intel- lectual and religious, issued during the college year. The future historian of the Wooster University will find the iles of the Index invaluable helps. The catalogue and college records are cold and colorless recitals of facts. The Annual is always tinged with the red life of the school and faithfully reflects its activities. It is, moreover, the only volume that preserves a pictorial record of the different teams and social organizations as well. The Board has kept this function of the Index in mind throughout all of its deliberations and has made this compilation a labor of love. It this volume has kept pace with the advance of our college and is worthy of the Wooster of today, we are more than satisfied. TIIE Enrroizs. 7 K .Q I

T ilitnriall Explanations are very often best left unsaid or unwritten. Our friends do not need them and our enemies are usually unconvinced by them. Nevertheless it should be remembered that for financial reasons Very obvious to the initiated, the INDEX is limited to two hundred pages or thereabouts, including the advertising. Since there are certain matters of such general interest as class rolls, literary societies, athletic teams, social organizations and a host of others, that take up no small part of this space, it follows that what is left for the literary end is necessarily limited. In addition to these, this volume conta.ins more half-tones and zincs than any other INDEX ever published. We have chosen to give more space to the illustrations than to the class, club and other write-ups, believing that they would in the end be of more interest and importance. in in in It is much to be regretted that J. S. Weaver was unable to continue his connection with the Board until this volume was published. He proved an able and efhcient member ot the staff while in school. ui su in The greater part of the zine etchings in this INDEX are due to a for- mer loyal member of '05, Mr. George Goshorn, now of Columbus, O. Mr. Goshorn was very much interested in the success of the annual published by his class, and gave freely of his time and skill. The illustrations are by long odds the best ever secured by a Woosrnu INDEX Board. The editors are deeply indebted to Mr Goshorn For his interest and work- in in in To Miss Margaret Peebles, 708, and Mr. R. Brintnall, '07, the thanks ot the '05 Board are extended for their aid in illustrating this volume. 7
