6 Elf: jurist We have attempted to make THE INDEX a live souvenir, and our aim constantly has been to edit a volume whose tone should be in accordance with the spirit of the school, and hope nothing may have crept in between the covers to mar or sully the virginity of the page. Remember, THE INDEX is a mirror which reflects the minia- ture world in which we Live, move, and have so sweet a beinggn and should you, as you peep therein, see a reflection which perchance may be distorted, it may be from the fact that you may not have the gift to see yourself as others see yougv therefore, in your crit- icisms, be just, and remember that:-- Authors are partial to their work 'tis trueg Are not critics to their judgment, too? tl But the editorial rooms are now forsaken, no longer will the scratching pen or clipping shears be seen or heard in their accustomed placesg their work is o'er. Should there be any whose desires to renew their acquaintance with the editors attain the point of ebullition, to them we would say, much as we should desire that honor, we must refuse at present, and refer them and all suggestions to the Board of Editors of '94. With the kindest of wishes to those who may have received our kind and touching notices, with regrets to those whose names may not have glided so smoothly from our pen, or perchance have been forgotten, and with the deepest of gratitude to all who have in any way aided us by word or deed, we present to you for your inspection, your enjoyment, your criticism, THE INDEX of 'QV' EDITORS.

..l?!T9R'AL g V EAR READERS' Gne year ago the first class annual ever published o Q I C . in the lllinois State Normal University made its appear- ance among us, a welcomed stranger. It was a work of no mean proportions, but through the zeal of the editors and the encouragement of both Faculty and students, a souvenir was pre- sented, which met the approval of all. We now offer for your perusal THE INDEX of '93. What additions, omissions, what improvements have been made, we leave for your own discovery. lt has been a work attended with great difficulties. Faculty and students alike have been engaged not only in the press of the regular routine of school work, but in the preparation of our ex- hibit at the World's Columbian Exhibition. What work this meant all who participated will readily understand. We have cheerfully borne the burden and have no excuses or regrets to offer. We should have been much pleased, however, had a few members of the Faculty been more obliging' in rendering' the slight favors asked. Had they recognized the difficulties under which editors labor, they would undoubtedly have responded more cheerfully. 5
