that to the furthermost parts of the earth you may become acquainted with the inner life of Park College, its work, its play, its pleasures, its pursuits, its atmosphere and its ideals. Hoping this publication will meet at least a cursory (not cuss) glance from you, and wishing for you, our fellow student, the worst thing possible—that you may be¬ come editor of your college book, we close with this advice: Begin early; cut class often; spare not the midnight oil; work zealously and the success of future Narvas will be practically assured. 9

Editorial NOTHER five years have rolled around since the publication of the last Narva and it is with the customary feeling of reluctance and hesitation that the class of 1911 ventures into the lime light and presents this token of her willingness to take up and complete her share in the responsibilities of college life. Of course we could not hope to show forth our Alma Mater in all her activities and ad¬ vancement in the past five years, so we shall only attempt to give you plenty of cuts of buildings and campus scenes that you may see Park pictured as she really is. As her ideals have been carried down to us from her founders, so we trust that this little book may, indeed, reflect the life of our college; that it may foster an harmon¬ ious equilibrium of general good will, and a sturdy spirit of loyalty to our institu¬ tion. We wish to call particular attention to the literary work of our college, to oratory and debate. In the last five years Park has won every debate, eleven in all, getting thirty decisions from the thirty-three judges. It is not necessary to call at¬ tention to the Seniors—not that they necessarily command attention themselves, but realizing it was their last chance to play prominent roles, they have taken this means of gaining attention. If any of you have been given honorable mention please remember that only to the conspicuous belongs attention, and so if the modesty of any one has been offended by undue publicity, our only excuse is that the tale of your deeds will doubtless cause mirth and happiness to some care worn student or alumnus. Our gratitude is hereby extended to the students, alumni, members of faculty and all others whose hearty co-operation and support have given us the material for these pages. We wish especially to thank those who have helped us in the artistic work. The drawings of Wilson, ’14, are marked “C.W.” Those of Rudkin, Academy, T2, by “T. A. R.” White, T4, to whom we owe the dedication page, has his own mark on his drawings. Our share of the labor is finished. We hope that through the Narva you will become acquainted with our class, with its part of the college life, and above all, 8
