Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Oraculum ’13 Foreword It is not necessary to comment at any length upon the aims and pur¬ poses of this year’s “Oraculum.” Other classes have presented much of the same which we publish in this volume and we realize that this is always necessarily true so no claims are made to extraordinary originality. We have tried to profit by mistakes of preceding publications of the “Oraculum” and trust that succeeding classes will blot out the errors we have made. The class as a whole have been interested in the work and its success, if such it be, is due to the united efforts of all. If we have succeeded in presenting to you through this medium, one year of life at Defiance, our work has not been in vain. And so we present to you without apology, and for its true worth—the Sixth Volume of the “Oraculum.” 2

Alumni With gratitude and thanksgiving do we in this small way pay our homage to you, Alumni. Gratitude because of the in¬ estimable service you have rendered us in the past; thanksgiving because your Alma Mater is ours also. We realize that the fame of our college rests in a much larger degree upon your success, than upon the success of those still within our college halls. As we are confident that the fame of Defiance College is spreading far and wide, we hail you as successful followers of your chosen professions. You are, each in your own way, using to the best advantage, those precious truths gathered while you traversed the path upon which we now find ourselves. We owe you much. Alumni, for the vast opportunities you have pointed out to us; the thousands of doors whose keys you have placed in our hands. For this service we can feel nothing but gratitude. In return, the least we can do is to pledge to you, who have helped us more than you can ever realize, our unlimited support, and pass along this gift which came to us, in aiding our j. successors. ' And thus we, the class of ’14 dedicate these pages to the Alumni of Defiance, our Alma Mater; to you who have success¬ fully battled with your college courses, and are now taking your masters’ degree in the University of Life. 4
