X KX fx .27 1 ,' fill T' 1' 41 A A I AI,-and . 7 hitnriul There are those who are wont to criticise, some favorably, others in no such pleasing terms. To both, the stalf feels that some explanation of the current edition of the Kaleidoscope is due, partly in justice to them, partly in defense of our own feeble efforts. Apologies may be necessary, 'but they are not forthcoming from a group of students, who, in a self-confident spirit so characteristic of many college men, feel that they have done their work well. The editor, however, knows that explanations are due and makes them unreservedly. Our work has been accompanied by many disappointments and a like number of pleasures. The small size of our student body, in the beginning, was a source of much uncertainty as to the publication of the year-book, but those who have remained with us have responded nobly to our every request. During the compilation of the manuscript we have elected three business managers, a cause -of much confusion. The late start which the staff made in its work, due to the confusion incident to the war, has caused a decrease in the financial returns from the advertisements and consequently a forced reduction in the size of the annual. The withdrawal from college during the session of several men, who have entered their country's service, has forced us to break the uniformity in the arrangement of our photographs, military pictures being unavaila'ble in several instances. VVith the exception of the introduction of the military feature, there is no material difference between this and former publications, despite our cher- ished hope that the book might possess originality. VVe have tried to do well the work com- mitted to our hands,-we hope you approve of our efforts. The annual is the work of the entire staff and to them as a whole any credit is due. Our debt of gratitude for literary contributions is due to Dr. A. M. Fraser of Staunton, Va., Dr. H. Tucker Graham of Florence, S. C., Dr. A. J. Morrison of Hampden-Sidney, Va., and Lieutenant David A. Haller, commander of the Base Hospital, Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. Mrs. S. B. VVithers, Mr. E. F. Neal and Mr. Roland A. Thomas of New Orleans have given their hearty co-operation by furnishing us with art work. To the Hammersmith Engraving Co. of Milwaukee a special debt of gratitude is due for their helpful advice and material aid at all times during the year. Dr. A. W. McWhorter of the Faculty has rendered valuable services to the entire staff. Page Tfmenty one
