Introductory 9 M Q NCE AGAIN another volume of the I-Ii-O-I-Ii makes its ap- ? ' 9 pearance, and its pages are eagerly scanned in hopes of pm-B, finding out just what has gone on within these fair portals Q32 during the last year. And then what happens to the illus- 6 lg 4 trious volume? Is it to be placed high up on the shelf, to seek 5 X' 4 . repose beneath the dust of ages? We hope not, and trust that you, dear Oberlinite, will oft have occasion to call it forth to tell you over and over again just what a grand year this 1920-1921 college year has been. This is the purpose of the I-Ii-O-1-Ii-to be a friend to you, both now and in later days, when the long miles shall keep you far from Oberlin, though your spirit longs to be back there. When, as of, old, the muse awoke on a bright September morning last fall, after a summer s nap 'neath the purple shades of the Arboretum, 'twas a new Oberlin she gazed upon. Gone were the khaki-clad lads, although some of the brave warriors who fought the battles on the plains of Oberlin had resurrected parts of 'the olive drab , gone were the sounds of the bugle from the porch of the Men s Building 5 yes, even those days had passed when one by one the noble warriors from an exhausted land came back to more pleasant duties. In its place the muse saw a new Oberlin, with throngs coming from far and near, anxious to obtain alarger and more comprehensive view of life and to receive that training which will help in the reconstruction and development of this war-stricken planet of ours. There also dawned a new future for Oberlin-with plans for an enlarged and beautified college which will be more capable to meet the needs of the youth of the land. And the muse was pleased, and as she took up her golden harp, the sweet low sound of mystic music flowed over the campus, and those whose hearts and ears were atune to the voices of the Gods heard the faint strains of the Alma Mater. i But, let's get back to earth, and leaf through the pages as we go. Here you will find the faces of those you know, and perhaps, loveg you will find them not once, but many times over, in all their moods. And the campus, in all its majestic Splendor-the many organizations-the defenders of the Golden O, -our Oberlin homes, all parade by in silence, anxious to show you just how much you mean to them and they to you. Certainly you will find them interesting com- panions. i .The correct translation of the word I-li-O-I-Ii, which is truly Oberlinanic in its origin, is, a memory book of the most pleasant year spent within the portals of Oberlin, -sort of short-hand, as it were. And this is the wish we would leave with you, that as time rolls by, you may find this thirty-second volume of the Hi-O-Hi an ever enlarging source of joy and of beautiful mem- ories of the days long past when you yourselves were the proud citizens of that mystic wonderland called Oberlin. 7
