Kenyon College - Reveille Yearbook (Gambier, OH)

Page 15 text:

Editoris Foreword IGHTY years have passed since the founders of Kenyon College first climbed Gambier's lofty hillg two-thirds that number more have been recorded 'in history since the first modest volume of this publication appeared. During all these years Kenyon's sons have striven for the ideals, the aims, the objects for which men struggle. Some have climbed high, others have fallen and sunk into oblivion. But all took with them when they left Kenyon's halls, something gained during their residence here, and all contributed some mite at least from their own personalities toward Kenyon's glory and Kenyon's life. ill During the fifty-four years since its establishment the Reveille has tried each year to picture Kenyon life as it really isg its highest aim has ever been to reflect the ideals of Kenyon men and their strivings towards the fulfilment of these. As in the past, so in the present, the editors of the l909 Reveillen hope for nothing more than that our annual may be a clear mirror reflecting the Kenyon of to-day-not a Reveille represen- tative of any one class or group but representative of all and the best in all. U Two years ago the editors compared their volume of two hundred pages and more with the four page issues of the early seventies by way of pointing out the change in Kenyon's life, and the increased number of activities which absorb the time and attention of her undergraduate sons. Then it seemed that the high water mark of collegiate activities had been reached, but time has disproved this belief. The present volume con- tains recorcls of new organizations, new enterprises which show that Kenyon is still advancing and progressing. page thirteen F

The latter speak for themselves, and it were presumptuous in us even to put an estimate upon them. However we may with all propriety inform our readers as to the aims and purposes with which our work was done. But we find ourselves repeating. Qur aim has been--as we started in by saying--merely to give a true picture of Kenyon life, hallowed by the traditions of the past and inseparably bound up with the trials of the present and the aims for the future. Q, There is one feature of this volume, however, which we feel ourselves constrained to mention. in particular. Probably the most pleasing depart- ment of the entire book is the art work. Mr. Hann, who illustrated the H1907 Reveillen and who was formerly a member of the junior Class, has earned.the unbounded gratitude of the board by contributing a number of. drawings this year.. Several critics have pronounced these the finest ever. seen ina Kenyon year book. We might go on to tell of the manifold trials which have confronted usg of the periods of brightest hope alternating with the gloom of despair, asf the responsibilities of our task loomed large before usg of the joy with which. we saw. our work finally moulding and progressingg of the sighs, not wholly- of satisfaction, with which we realized this work was done. Or, we might. enumerate with apology and comment the new and distinrftive features of this particular volume. But nog these latter are for you, oh reader, to pick. out andcriticise. We would but ask that you remember all things and let your criticisms be kindly. page fourteen
