foreword C IIERE are at least two places in every book of this nature in which the editor can freely express himself — the preface and the edi- torial section. The function of the former differs from that of the latter in being the space wherein matters relative to the hook itself may be discussed. In presenting to the public The Massasoit for 190T, we wish to draw attention to and explain the departures from the customs of former years. The reader will note that in this edition a larger space is devoted to cuts and a smaller j ortion to written material than is usual. Hereby we have tried to avoid impressing the activities of the Class of 1907, and of the Training School as a whole, upon the public by display of words, hut we leave the reader to judge of our success or failure from the simple presentation of facts. In doing this we hope that we have chosen those photographic representations that will he of most interest to those who l)eruse these pages. As this publication goes to press, the editor wishes to extend his hearty thanks to all who have aided him in the preparation of this volume ; to those whose contributions apj)ear in the succeeding pages ; to those who have used our columns for advertising purposes ; to students and alumni, whose subscriptions and lively interest have alone made this book possible ; and to the members of the editorial hoard, who thru many weary hours have toiled to make this effort a success. To you — students, alumni, friends of T. S. — we submit this humble volume.
