Monlanan 1919 Foreword and Greeting HE YEAR just passed has been one such as Montana State College has never experienced before and we feel the inadequacy of the printed page to chronicle the events of the past twelve months. Therefore, it has not been our purpose to attempt such. We have simply attempted to gather together a few little incidents, a few reminiscences and a few important facts, and a few of the people who have assisted in making the year 1917-18 one which will receive a page of its own in the history of the college. And as the result of our labor we present to you this twelfth volume of the “Montanan and hope that your criticism of the many imperfections and errors found within its covers will be tempered by a consideration of the many difficulties which we had to overcome. l’age Five
