[ Jfa gg feDBBRiy .gig History of the Debris THIRTY-FOUR years ago the class of ' 89 published the first Debris. This first volume of our University annual marked the beginning of one of the most important and respected customs of Pur- due history. Although the enrollment at that time was only slightly more than four hundred students and the University was still in its infancy, this enterprising class of ' 89 undertook the task of establishing this im- portant custom. The activities on and about the campus at that time were relatively few, and thus furnished little material for a Univer- sity annual. Literary societies and athletics, the two chief activities on the campus at that time, were naturally heavily stressed in this first Debris of one hundred pages. University and School histories were grouped as one of the main departments of the book. The book was plain, containing very little sketching or other art work. Never since the establishment of this custom has a year passed but that a Debris has been published. A marked and steady growth and improvement has been one of its chief characteristics, and the result of these years of experience has given us a book truly to be prized as the most cherished of college souvenirs. The departments of the book have increased from two or three to the present number, for which five hundred pages are required to describe the events of the college year. The progress shown by the Debris has been steady throughout these thirty-four years, for it has kept pace with the growth of the Univer- sity, and like the University, has outgrown the fondest hopes of its founders. A finer and more interesting record of the events and achievements of the University cannot be found in any publicatioi other than that which is accessible through the volumes of the Debrit It is published in a compact, neat and interesting form which relates the year ' s record of the University and of the student body. We sincerely hope that this volume will show the same degree of improvement over foregoing ones that has always been characteristic of the Debri faM cftgc
