ibreface. Long years ago, when the world was waking up, a clever and daring man was possessed with an idea. It was a good one, and if Columbus had lived to see its outcome, he would forget all the hardships, dangers and bewildering thoughts that he once had, in the glories of the present. He would say, It is as I said. A powerful government gave the word and set this idea into activity. Great excitement and tremendous expectations were the result. But in this excitement Columbus and what he stood for were soon forgotten. Other men arose with new ideasg people became more daring and the result of all this recklessness is seen in this wonderful land that we own as ours. Who is this Columbus of the twentieth century that has been so daring as to present his theories of a possi- ble new route to a land of mental wealth? If he be still alive we hope he may never realize that the book of reality is far from the book of his dreams. The immediate result of such a rash and daring un- dertaking is contained between these two covers, the journey from one to the other ordinarily taking two years. But we have endeavored to take the trip within three months. We are glad to be the pioneers in this fascinating voyage even if our haste does bring distress to some of us. S

With no fraternities, clubs or societies to record and give the proper life to the book, but an unwholesome existence to the class, the problem as to how we shall reach this land of mental wealth is a grave one. We have guides and charts to use on our way, but in neither guide nor chart do we f1nd this land marked. So, with no maps to direct our course and with little knowledge of the unknown dreamland before us, we have entered a sea of myths, peopled with frightful sea-monsters swimming about in scalding, unfathomable depths. Columbus knew some things about the depths and the truth in these stories. He was looked upon as insane because of his ideas and hopes, but the realization of his dream came when the world awoke to the possibilities before it. We, knowing so little of the deep or the stories, expect to be looked upon as at least unwise because of our ideas and hopes, the realization of our dream will come when the world awakens to discover what pioneers can not, as yet, grasp. But the thought, that the foundations for this book of the future have been laid, justifies any belief that we may have placed in gossip, stories or legends. We do not hold ourselves responsible for anything written here,-for how can one believe all he hears or reads? But the true and the fabulous are so interwoven that the task of separation is too great to undertake and the standards of truth differ so widely that the honest endeavor to draw the line is too taxing to burden our consciences. t 6
