The Amptennian Foreword IMPRESSED with a desire to commemorate the “Walking Purchase” and early Indian life in our vicinity, we, the Staff of The 1926 Amptennian, have in this book hoped to renew the spirit of the first inhabitants of Northampton. We, encouraged by the spirit of the class of '26, have endeavored to publish a book, rich not only with scholarship, but also with personality; worthy not for the fiber alone, not for the finish alone, but for both the fiber and finish. With these things in mind we hope that we have advanced a few steps further in the way of improvement on the editions of former years. May you, our readers, as you turn from page to page of our annual, feel that our highest aims for a Bigger and Better Amptennian have been realized.
