jforcluorti TfclTH the publication of this volume the seventh issue of our school year- book is offered to the gaze of a critical, but we hope, admiring world. The first issue, published by the Class of 1909, and called the Annual, was a bound volume of less than a hundred pages. The following year the name of the publication was changed to the Newtonian, which it has ever since continued to bear. Every year an attempt has been made to increase the size of the volume, but it has not always been possible. Although this book is not the largest which has ever been published, it is the same size as the Newtonian of 1913 and eight pages larger than that of 1914. The Editors do not present to you much writing which is original with themselves. Our task has been merely collecting material from others, who have often required much urging and reminding, although, theoretically, the book is supported voluntarily by the Senior Class. We may also add that we have had no little trouble in making corrections in the productions of genius, which have been at last secured by us. We hope that you can now find no mistakes, and that if you can, you will treat them leniently, when you consider all those mistakes which we might have made but have not. To the School Board; to our faculty, collectively and individually; to the management of the Review; and to the writers of the various class histories, we offer our thanks for the invaluable assistance which they have rendered us in making the Newtonian a success. This edition consists of four hundred copies, and is issued at a cost of six hundred dollars for printing, engraving, and binding. It will be seen, therefore, that the Newtonian, at the price you pay for it, is not supported by its subscribers alone, but to a considerable extent by its friends who advertise in it; to them, therefore, we also extend our heartiest thanks.
