JUS 7 ' A WORD. Just a Word Before You Read Our Class Book. I N the first place we wish to speak of the change, and new departures which have been made from former models. The latter, if we may be allowed to criticise, have been for the most part cheap and care- lessly written advertising pamphlets. Noticing this we have taken infinite pains, have carefully written ours, and as carefully arranged the text. Of course there are a few mistakes, but we who write are not professional authors. Yet we can safely say that we have replaced the former horse laughs and coarse wit by a more intelligent, refined, sparkling humor, giving scholar and teacher a harmless view of them- selves as others see them. Incidentally we have intro- duced several new features, namely, the Prophecy, the Will, the Glee Club and some others. We extend our most cordial thanks to those who have rendered their aid in the production and suc- cessful publication, especially to Harland FTatt, ’02, whose drawings are marvelous and whose genius has herein asserted itself. The Sentinel staff comes in for a share of our gratitude, as docs Algodt K. Peter- son. Don’t fail ' to read our advertisers’ notices at the back of the book. We have personally visited every concern which has advertised, and find its spe- cial claims to be fully and capably backed. Class of ’02, give them your patronage. Respectfully submitted. The Committee. 3
