HcJzHXUuJjeaxi4ne4tti Ix presenting this edition of the Cauldrox. the Board wishes to call to the attention of the reader its grateful acknowledgment of the many serA-ices that have been rendered by various individuals in the preparation of Northeastern University ' s yearl)ook. First of all, the members of the Board are sincerely ajjpreciative of the tridy commendable support so untiring- ly offered by Professor Everett C. Marston, faculty adviser to the Cauldron. His long association with the Cauldron has given him a wealth of experience in every ])hase of yearbook construction, an cxi)erience that he is fore ' er willing to place behind the efforts of those less well-versed in the ])roblems and technicalities invol- ved in the cf)inpilation of a college annual. A thousand bouciuets of thanks, also, for the professional services so unselfishly offered by Mr. Rus- sell C. Knight of the Bickford Engraving and Electrotype Com- pany, and ]Mr. Dino (J. Valz of the Andover Press, and the Messrs. Waid, Senior and Junior, of the Waid Studio, without whose generous contributions of time, advice, and thought this book would not have been possible. The Board is extremely grateful to the members of the Cauldron Junior Staff and to various mem- bers of the Secretarial Staff of Northeastern University, whose willing assistance has made many of the thousand and one details of drudgery connected with the prep- aration of a compendium of this sort seem but slight obstacles in the path of eventual publication.
