With our limited space it is hard to portray such a one as Prof. Eaton whose whole scheme of life is so broad and whose interests are so many. Were he but a biologist, the task would not be so difficult, but he is a man whose knowledge extends over so many fields that we are bewildered. Nor does his influence extend only over his lecture rooms. Teaching a course that is of itself interesting to most college men, he enlarges upon his subject to such an extent that already his courses are among the most popular on the curriculum. Bringing into the class room that enthusiasm and love of the out of doors that he seems to embody, he seems not to be lecturing but to be answering the very questions that we want to ask him. He has always been an uncomprising advocate of temperance in all things, but his knowledge of college men is too great to lay down for them a set of “Don’ts. Rather by appealing to the better nature of his classes, has he sent more than one of us from his room with resolutions to do better. But no praise of mine could be greater than the verdict that Hobart has passed on him all during his stay with us. Prof Eaton is square. And so to our true friend and be- loved Professor “Wearing all that weight Of learning lightly like a flower. We dedicate this book.

FOREWORD The Emo makes its annual reappearance with the usual apolo- gies. ()ne by one the high ideals with which we started have been abandoned, either thru impracticability or impossibility. We, the hoard, have labored to the best of our small abilities and have been ably aided by friends to bring forth an annual worthy of the college and of the class. In so far as we have done this, we are satisfied; in so far as we have failed, we thn iw ourselves on the charity of our readers. We now submit our labor to you, Mr. Alumnus, hoping that we have “echoed” some of the college life you lived; to-you, Fellow Student, praying that you will pardon its faults; and to you, Prospective Student, hoping it may contain something that will bring you to the college we love. The Editors.
