Foreword 'I he year 1917-1918 has been a very unusual year in the history of 1 lope Col- lege. W hile as many as possible of the regular college activities were carried on. the spirit which animated them all could not but he different from what it was in time of peace, when no disturbing element entered to distract our interest and divert our efforts. We are passing thru a world crisis, and how could we Ik unmoved when the deep significance of it was brot home to us continually by the departure of fellow-students and classmates, who left us to cast their lot with the champions of liberty and justice? The departure of these students has left great gaps in the ranks here at college, which those remaining have only partially succeeded in closing up. In spite of these broken ranks, however, the work of the college has progressed and we are nearing the completion of another successful year. In consideration of these facts it would indeed be lamentable were we to leave this year without a record and remembrance of what we have done.—of our work and our pleasures, our successes and our failures, our hopes and our achievements. It was for this reason, as well as to help make permanent the good precedent set by the two preceding classes, that the C lass of 1919 has issued this Milestone. The publishing of an annual this year was attended with peculiar difficulties, owing to the financial strain caused by the war. and the small number of the class that had to shoulder the undertaking. After a careful investigation, however, it appeared that these difficulties could Ik overcome, as indeed they were by the efficiency of our business department, and the willing aid of other classmen. The task was therefore begun and the realization of our plans is embodied in the edition now in your hands. The Milestone of 1918 represents the best efforts of all the members of the staff and those who assisted them. We sincerely hope that you will find in it not only a trustworthy account of the events of the year, but also a reflection of the Spirit of Hope, which lives among us and determines all our actions. We wish here to express our appreciation of the work of all the persons who con- tributed towards the degree of success which this book has attained. The work of Professor A. Raap and “Bud DeWolf. ’21. for the art department deserves special credit. All others of the auxiliary staff likewise did good service.
