PREFACE C ORTY years ago the Class of 1866 of Columbia College felt moved to make 'QB' 'J some permanent record of its history and its achievements, and of the activities then 3 extant in the College. The result of these desires was an exceedingly unpretentious publication called the Columbiad, but it so happened that this established a precedent to which the Junior Class has ever since adhered. The Columbiad grew in size and importance from year to year, until in this one hundred and iiftieth year of Columbia? reign the Class of 1906 pre- sents this volume, in which Will be found a description of its vicissitudes and victories, together With some account of the not unimportant part it has played in the life ofthe University. Each successive Annual has set a higher standard of excellence than those which preceded it. We make no boast to have surpassed the books of former years, We simply claim to have done our best, and our highest hope is that our Columbian may be deemed Worthy of the University and the Class Which it represents. To the many contributors who have so materially aided us, We Would here express our gratitude. Our one endeavor has been to add by our Work, in however slight degree, to the honor and glory of our Alma lVIater and our Class. If We succeed in this We shall be satisfied. THE BOARD OF EDITORS.
