To Him Who Reads this Book. ADVENT of the 95 Debris marks the I i il pr= ' completion of the second decade of the life of Purdue. Twenty years ago the outlook for the University was indeed gloomy, and a rough, uncertain future seemed before it. Through the patient, persistent efforts of the President and Faculty, all misfortunes have been met bravely and all obstacles overcome. Even greater things have been accomplished than the most enthusiastic had dared to predict. As this seems to be the end of one epoch, an effort has been made to give a brief history of those things which are characteristic of student life at Purdue. And now, dear reader, this book is presented to you as a memento of the bright and happy days spent at Purdue. These days have been full of joy for you, and represent that portion of life which will ever remain fresh in your memories. Out of the vast quantity of material which might be of interest to you, some has been used, much discarded. Out of this debris, the con- tents of this book have been sifted. If you recognize anything peculiar- ly your own, any thoughts translated into print, any words or actions depicted by the artist, blame not us for their appearance. They have refused to pass through the meshes of the sieve. Read this book with care, for there is much of interest to you in it — be not too keen in criticism, deal compassionately with its faults, and may the joy and thanksgiving be with you that is in us at the consum- mation of our labor. 9 2
