THE 1920 REVEILLE 9 Foreword It was the aim of the junior Class, when it gathered together early in the year, to make the REVEILLE better than ever before. The editors and managers have, throughout their Work, been guided by this hope of their class and whatever work they have done and .whatever results obtained, have been always by reason of and for, that guiding star of producing a hetter REVEILLE. The Class of 1920, through its representatives, has aimed to give to the alumni, to the faculty, and to the students a Complete and inter- esting resume of the year 1918-19. In order to do this, it has seen fit to publish more pictures, more cartoons, more pages and introduce several new features into the book with the sole idea of making the readers 100 per cent pleased.
