Greeting. e E make no apology,,in presenting this, the eighteenth volume of THE MICROCOSIVI to our own little world. This book, it is quite evident, was not- compiled by professional book-writers, nor were the editors given . leave of absence by the faculty, that they might edit this volume. Nay verily! our dear instructors have kept us pretty well occupied with other duties. It is not altogether their fault that we have afflicted the college world with this, another annual. Remember, dear reader, we are not presenting for your instruction a treatise on philosophy, science or the isms -we have no such lofty purpose. This book wouldn't elevate anyone and we make no such claim. We aim not to edify or tickle our subscribers-rather would we bring to the sunlight some of their peculiarities. Possibly, in this manner, we can aid some individual, at least, to see himself as others see him. Some one has said, Tell the truth and shame the devil, and you will often surprise him very much. It is our aim to surprise l1im once in a while, but not all the while. We have endeavored to get out the very best MICROCOSM that our limited time and money would permit. It has been our aim to make the art work in this book a feature, and we have expended practically all our extra surplus upon this work. That this volume, edited by the Class of 1908, may stimulate a greater love for our Alma Mater, is the only reward we ask for our efforts.
