PREFACE HE Class of 1911 gave to you the tWVolverine in 1910. In so do- ing', they asked that, if possible, the name iWVolverine', should be perpetuated in such publications in the future. VVith this in mind, and believing that our col- lege should have and will support an annual tWVolven-ine, the present board submits to you, in the name of the Class of 1912, this book. Feeling that a college year-book should be truly and broadly representative of the institution for which it stands, we have endeavored herein to give space to all phases of college activity upon our campus. 'It is our hope that in days to come, these pages will serve to bring back to mind the faces and scenes which are now so familiar, and that you may thus be enabled to re-live the happy undergraduate days. We have given willingly of our time and thought, and crave only appreciation for what we have accomplished, and leniency toward such im- perfections as may appear in this undertaking. We thank all those who have helped, each in his own way, to make these pages a reality; and we trust that this first tiAnnual shall prove but a stepping-stone toward constantly bigger and better M. A. C. lWVolverines.

The thoughts of hundreds of former students turn hitherwurd, for it is still their college, though they may never have revisited it since their departure years ago. chat surrounds us here and now and what we enjoy together, is the result of faithful, enthusiastic effort the work of student and teacher side by side. A freshman of fifty years ago, should he re- turn today to look up his past record as a student, would not hie himself to the registrar's ofh'ee, but more than likely would wander over across the river tovard the south to see if he could find the remaining evidences of some stump of'a tree he felled in clear- ing; the farm, or trace the route of an underdmin in field number 1'2 0r14. Let us go over the place together in 1911 and hunt up the bench marks of the industrial edu- mtion id m.
