FOREWORD I If N O THE DREAMER— scorn him not— is due the credit for much of the world ' s progress. It is the visionary who has kept alight the torch of civilization through the ages. It is the visionary who has carved out world-empires, yes, and new worlds. It is he who has con- quered the air and the sea ; has made space as nothing ; has caught the elements and bent them to the will of man. Youth and dreams walk hand in hand. In youth, all lies before and naught behind. However, after the passing of the years, when life ' s glamour has been dimmed, when the ambitions of youth have given place to resignation, then are dreams most wont to cease to exist in the mind of men. A wave of wistfulness and bitterness sweeps over them, and despair lays hold of their hearts. Then is the inspirational influence of dreams most needed. If, in at least one instance during that period of disillusionment which comes with age, this Annual can serve to recall the dreams of yesterday, and the ambitions of youth, if it can be the means of lifting one soul from the depths of despair to the pedestal of success, the staff of 1926 will feel that this, the book which they have prepared, will have justified its publi- cation, and will have repaid a hundredfold the efforts of those who have labored in its compilation. May the Annual of 1926 be a book of inspiration, coupled with pleas- ant memories.
