Kenyon College - Reveille Yearbook (Gambier, OH)

 plan. The Annual has been compiled and issued by the class of 1905; but it was composed by the Students at large of Kenyon College. Two advantages have thus been sought. In the firSt place, the book becomes more truly representative and is surrounded with an atmosphere more characteristic of Kenyon, when the materials are drawn from varied sources and selected with the special purpose of exemplifying the Kenyon spirit. This feature would recommend it particularly to the Alumni. On the other hand the undergraduate body will feel more intimately con cemed and more responsible for the success of the Annual, if they can see therein the results of their own personal efforts. We have aimed to keep it free from class or fac tional prejudices; we have done away with meaningless nonsense; and in the grinds we have attempted to provoke a smile without inflicfling a Sting. The 1905 Reveille1 is at peace with all men and bears ill-will towards none. We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. C. C. Phillips, formerly of the class of 1905, who is at present studying art in New York. He has returned to the Hill for the express purpose of illustrating this Reveille and by his sketches has added Still further to the local color of the book. | The merits and faults of our book we now leave to the discovery and kindly criticism of our readers.

PREFACE KENYON COLLEGE leans back with conscious pride on her venerable traditions and complacently hears herself called old-fashioned and behind the times. Hanna Hall, the new water-works, and, to some, even the Steam heat in the buildings will seem rank intru sions of modem conveniences. To such we must excuse ourselves for this attempt to embody in a rare specimen of the modem book-maker’s art the mellowed customs of the little college. Our readers themselves may judge of our sue cess at harmonizing the two elements. ® The appearance of the book we have aimed to keep almoSt severely chaSte and simple,—above all, agreeable to sight and touch, so that the volume may commend itself, not merely to those who have the interests of Kenyon at heart, but to anyone catching sight of it. The Japanese parchment, the old-face type, the plain paper cover, all betray the same purpose. We have cherished originality; but we have zealously tried to avoid the freakishly novel. The half-tones, tipped in, in publishers’ language, may at firSt seem factitious, but we would remind our readers that high-grade half-tones cannot be made on the parchment; besides, on closer thought, they do not seem to be really out of keeping with the general tone of the volume. 5 The Board felt highly complimented when the remark was made that more men in college have been at work on this Reveille” than on any which Kenyon has ever yet produced. Such indeed, is a Statement of our working P e« elwn
