Dedication This issue of the Yamacraw is dedicated to two of the best friends that any college in the whole wide world ever had — to Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lupton of Chat- tanooga, Tennessee. At a time when there was no great financial force back of Oglethorpe University, when no person had given an unconditional gift to this institution of more tlian $1,000.00, Mr. and Mrs. Lupton, after hearing the story of its ideals from the pulpit of the First Pres- byterian Church of Chattanooga, made an initial gift of $10,000.00 cash, to which they have added from time to time, until there is now being erected on the campus of the University a building of steel and stone, given by them in memory of Mr. Lupton ' s mother. This monument to her is, at the same time, a monu- ment to the great hearted generosity of the donors, than whom there is not and will not ever be anyone more loved by the boys and girls and faculty and members of the Board of Founders of Oglethorpe University.

ilsG Pi S m Foreword HERE are those who will pity naore than blame the Staff for this imperfect production, while others will lose their patience and condemn without qualifi- cation. Such adverse criticisms are fully antic- ipated. And yet we cheerfully go about the work and as cheerfully bear any amount of ob- jection and odium that may be heaped upon it. To the Ferocious Rhetoricians ' and Unmer- ciful Critics, the Staff declares they fully realize the many imperfections of this, the second volume of The Yamacraw. The editors desire that you recall the financial conditions and the many diffi- culties under which they were forced to labor. Therefore, whatever may be your decision when you have examined the book, they ask that you con- sider it sympathetically, with at least a suspended judgment, and with as little admixture of critical repugnance as the nature of the contents will allow. The Editor-in-Chief.
