TIlis hook, the twelfth volume of the Stamoui} Quad, is oftered to the siiidents and alumni of the University in the hope that it may prove to be a careful record of the past college year, — a record that is complete, interesting and artistically pre- pared. The difficulties attendant upon producing a volume which should impress Stanford readers with its completeness of detail, and yet lack the element of wearisomeness which seems to cling to statistics, were realized in the days when the book was but a troublesome dream, and as the college days drew on the ideal Quad. by its apparent remoteness of attainment, suggested a more conscientious effort and a more thorough appreciation of the purposes of a college annual. The events which it has been given us to chronicle here recall days of lights and shadows. Athletic victory has been ours, in debating we have been unusually successful, and the joy of the undergraduate in these things has been complete. The year has held its days of sorrow for us all. for since that memorable Wednes- day morning when the Quadrangle was suddenly hushed and still at the news of our mother ' s death, the joy in the outwa rd things of life has been silenced and the simple beauty of a good woman ' s soul has been impressed forever upon our hearts. These days of lights and shadows have been ours to record, and with what measure of success we have labored is for the readers of the book to judge. There have lieen but few important changes in the make-up of the volume. We have felt justified in enlarging the athletic department, and by a careful and more logical arrangement of engravings and copy have endeavored to give this field of student activities the prominence it deserves. The dramatic department, though it suffers in common with other sections of the book on account of the suspension of student activities in March, is given the usual space. The josh department has been enlarged only at the earnest request of scores of influential students and even prominent alumni. We have been careful to josh all those who wished the department enlarged, for we have felt that the Quad owes a duty to all its sub- scribers, not merely a favored few. The making of the book has been a long hard task. We have attempted originality in arrangement, accuracy in records and good taste in the art work and reading matter. The josh contributors have indulged in a little good natured fun. In so far as our efforts have succeeded the Class should be congratulated. .Any errors of judgment or good taste will be discussed only through the mails. BOARD OF EDITORS.
