Assistant Manager for Advertising PREFATORY REMARKS When we lounge comforlably for hours on the luxurious seats of a railroad train and (ravel lo distant cities with no exertion of our own, we seldom think of the countless strokes of wearisome work — the perspiration, the cold feet, the fatigue, the bodies injured by accident, and the other exertions and suf- ferings of every kind that somebody endured that we might have a railroad instead of a wilderness — that we might ride in lazy comfort with no thought of the distresses of primitive travel. But. at the same time, if we are square with the world, we ourselves have probably been doing another kind of work, without thanks or encouragement, for somebody else — work equally as onerous and as little appreciated as that which built the railroad for us. It is a part of the lot and duty of man to work without appreciation or praise. We may be lauded for doing work in excess of our assigned tasks, but in doing what we are required to do we are supposed to need no praise so long as our services meet with the approval of our merciless patrons — the toleration alone is our encouragement. So in offering this work to our subscribers for their carefree and critical inspection, we enter fully into the social scheme, and we claim no virtue for having done this work. Our sole object has been to please the Trinity students; if we have succeeded, we are glad, and herein have our reward; if we have not, we are sorry, and crave the forbearance of those responsible for assigning us the task. ♦ • • ♦ This book is the result of many weeks of painstaking effort. Many things have been done and undone; many plans have been made and abandoned; and many words have been written and erased before finally this book was ready for presentation to the college community. Countless steps and movements, unknown to the reader, will never be publicly proclaimed. Hence the good that has come from many an hours work is invisible, but none the less useful, for all have conlribuled in some way to the evolution of thought of which this volume is the material outcome. ♦ ♦ » » » This year we have departed in several ways from the precedents set by former numbers of the Chanticleer, and we have adopted several schemes and policies that are strictly our own.
