7 hitnrial The class of 1010 has become noted for breaking away from precedent, and the editorial statli of this year's annual has decided on a number of things which may perhaps Fix this reputation more firmly on the class. We present to you this year 'l'l11-Z l'lI4ASlll.ltlll'I', and no doubt many will object to the putting aside of the time-honored title, 'lllllll BI.lll'I Msn tlotn. 'l'o these critics we can only say that the name BLUE AND GOLD seems to us to lack distinction of any kind whatever, when it is considered liow inanv schools over the countrv wear these same colorsg and we believe that the change of the name and the appearance of the book wasjustihed. I Times without number, during the course of the year, we have been asked when the annual would appear. Our answers were usually ambiguous, because for a long time it, there was considerable doubt whether l it would appear at all. Unlike most previous annual boards, we have re- ceived no financial assistance from the college, and what we have done has been done on our own respon- sibility. The experience of last year's publication board has been of great value to us, and we appreciate the aid given us by them and also by any others who have assisted in any way in the production of the book. As usual, the members of the board have put in all the time and elfort de- manded without hesitationg but we realize that any other member of the class would have been just as willing to devote anything that might be nec- , essary to the welfare of the class MXN Bun v I 1 . .DINGS publication.
