TTTIIE Indiana State Normal School although in the beginning of its usefulness has I ■ been angularly successful. Its rapid growth and ever broadening interests are continually opening new fields of labor, affording rare advantages for the willing worker. The Scientific Class of 1888, perceiving this, and believing themselves to possess considerable latent ability, throw off the mantle of reserve and step forth boldly into the province of journalism. We would not, however, have our readers think that we have hastily or indifferently entered upon this work. On the contrary, by much effort, we have dispelled our fears concerning the waves of public opinion which are wont to swallow up the gorgeous castles of fame reared in the midnight visions of aspiring young editors. We have studied the past with all its failures and successes, the present with all its realities, the future with all its probabilities, and everywhere we are met by words of encouragement, inspiring us with greater zeal and earnestness, greater hope and confidence in our new undertaking. The Clioxiax represents an institution designed for the training of the teacher, it will therefore differ somewhat in character from the modern college annual. Although portraying student life as found in a Normal, it will devote itself especially to matters relative to the highest good of the school. It will endeavor to enlist the sympathy and influence of a united alumni in the welfare of the institution which gave them cul- ture, to stamp indelibly upon the mind school associations, so that the days in which we have mingled together as students may be remembered and cherished as the brightest in our lives. It will endeavor, also, to assist the teacher in the labors and trials of the profession, to establish, with other institutions of learning, a cooperative influence in the great work of education. Having thus briefly stated the aims and purposes of the Clioxiax, we would say further, that in order to make its pages more interesting and instructive, we have se- cured, in addition to the information regarding the inner life and activity of the school, a history of the institution itself. We believe this history, coming from the pen of one so well known to all Indiana students, will be hailed with delight. Another marked feature is the literary department, in the support of which we have on our list of con- tributors the names of persons familiar to many of our readers — persons whose ability has won recognition in various departments of professional and literary work. With this we submit the first volume of the Clioxiax to the public, hoping that in the after years the work in which the class of 1888 are the pioneers, may be taken up and made more and more perfect. Whether we have been led astray by over confidence in ourselves or by false interpretations of the signs revealed to us, lies in the uncer- tainty of the future. 5
