fust personal Woxti €0 the girls, Alumna?, and many friends of Davenport, we commend this volume of TheMemanuex. To supercilious critics we make no apologies for its faults. By those who love the old College the little hook will be appreciated, and will keep in mind the dearest recollections of happy days. We are sorry that we could not get a new pic- ture of the College, but the new building was not completed. And two of our dearest teachers did not get pictures made in time to put them in the Annual. But memory will treasure many things that The Memandex does not contain.
