L I X I Q 1 X .J 1 J Foreword .Just eighty years ago, a group of 111011 set out from Jefferson County on a trip to California in search of gold. They belonged to that class of people known as forty-niners. By train, by horseback, and by ox cart, they proceeded on their Way, encountering numerous hardships in their quest for gold. Just one year ago, a group of men and women started from their respective homes in search of knowledge. They belong to that class of people known as students. By study- ing, by craniining and by loafing, they proceeded on their way, encountering some hardships in their quest of knowl- edge. Just as in one small part of this book we are telling the story of the travels of the forty-niners, so in tl1e rest of the book we have tried to tell of the adventures of the students i11 their search for knowledge and pleasure. We hope you will enjoy both. ++2 S. C. H+' Three
