tec i T is with a sense of regret that we, the Staff of 1914, end our connection with this volume and offer it to you for criticism or praise. We have attempt- ed to condense the activities of this year so that they could be portrayed in this one volume, when they de- serve many volumes the size of this. Our record is nec- essarily limited to only a part of the year as the events that come after this book has gone to press are not in- cluded in this volume. We have labored diligently to avoid mistakes of all kinds and we wish that such as do occur may be pardoned through consideration of the size of our task and the length of time in which we have had to pre- pare it. We have forgotten all of these obstacles and cheerfully re- gard such occurrences as part of our increasing store of experience. We wish to thank the entire student body for their co-operation and to forgive them for the trouble caused by their delay. Although we have made Chapel talks to you and accused you of unnecessary delay, we are truly thankful to you for the assistance you have ren- dered. It is only just to say that without assistance, both financial and literary, this volume would never have been published. If in later years this book helps you to remember the pleasant things of your college life, we shall feel repaid for the efforts expended in the preparation of the Sou ' wester of 1914.
