Appreciating ' fully the euormity of our crime, we beg to be allowed to say a .Eu few words in our own defense before sentence is passed. XVe have resolutely resisted the temptation to make the f- book larger, and have spared no efforts to reduce it to a more E 7 'QE ' E convenient To accomplish this end we have omitted ?i , :', . Jhjg many subjects that have been thoroughly treated in previous 1-inc Tiaclimoxuns, believing that it is better to refer our readers to the original source than to reproduce them he1'e. Thanks to M1's. Saltonstall we are able to publish a portrait of her distinguished husband, throughout his life one of Technology's truest friends and stanchest supporters. That we are able to give Tech men an account of M1'. Saltonstalljs life and Work for the Institute is due to the great kindness of General xfV2,llli61', to Whom the Board is indeed grateful for this valuable contribution. To all who have helped us in our labors We extend our heartiest thanks. Especial acknowledgment is due to Dr. Tyler and his assistants, whose kind aid made much of the statistical work of the book possible. By the resignation of Arthur Cleveland Nash and John Sanford Hum- phreys, who left Technology this fall to study abroad, the Board lost two earnest and enthusiastic Workers. To their many contributions and valuable suggestions We feel that we owe much. WVe have tried to amuse, not to abuse, and much of the pleasure of our year's work will be spoiled if any of our innocent jests are not received in the spirit in which they are meant. NOW, With the hope that you will be to our virtues very kind and 'fhigh gravel blind to our faults, We humbly plead Hi:11'StOffC1lS6,,7 and ask for the mercy of the court. 5
