• • (fiN OTHER school year has gone, never to return; never | to be lived over again, except from time to time as memory brings forward and thrusts before the mind ' s eye glimpses of the past. It is human nature to attempt to forget the unpleasant and to remember that which is pleasant. If thoughts of the dislikes, mistakes and misunderstandings of the past could be forever blotted out, the ideal could perhaps be reached. But human acts are so related and the workings of the mind so com- plex and interwoven that to obliterate the unpleasant leaves only the mangled and torn fibres of the ideal. There is the consciousness with us that we have not attained to the ideal in this work, but an effort has been made; and we trust each subsequent effort will bring the AURORA nearer to the coveted goal. We put into your hands this, our first, attempt, begging that you re- ceive it kindly; it being our first venture, we ask that you condone its faults and appreciate its virtues.

only to those in school, but to all our friends. We have also striven to make it a book of literary merit. How well this has succeeded, let the reader judge. The members of the staff have worked hard to make the AURORA a success. And at this time we wish to thank all who have assisted in contributions, finance and criticism. The favorable criticism so far outweighs the unfavorable that the latter will not be considered. If this book has been an inspiration to anyone to become interested in the Illinois Holiness University, one of the best schools in the land, its greatest purpose has been fulfilled. Especially those who, in addition to their numerous school duties. have taken time to assist in contributions, and to those who so wil- lingly donated to the financial support, we wish to thank heartily. We would also add, do not let this be your last effusiveness. We pre- dict that at least some of our valuable assistants in this line the past year will sometime assist in publications of wider usefulness. So, we offer this AURORA as a representative of our earnest endeavors and our best work. -A. L. W., ' 15 [8]
