When this bit of matter is reduced to cold type and locked up in the form, the 1907 Quad will be on its way to the bindery and all that the QuAn Board can do or say will not erase one line of it. With this prefunctory editorial, which tra- dition has made essential in the making of a Quad the last sheet of dope will be in and the Quad will be virtually completed. We are not sorry to have it so. There is little joy in creating a rehabilitated Quad. The Quad Board passed over the final proofs last evening and saw them go without regret, not a drum was heard, not a funeral note. Last year this same board of editors gathered together material for what we feel confident would have been one of the best Quads in the history of Stanford University, but we were volume thirteen and the hoodoo was too strong to be shaken off. When the book was two days from the bindery the earthquake and subsequent fire swallowed the Quad along with the balance of the business portion of San Fran- cisco. The class determined, however, that the tradition of the annual should be kept up, and taxing themselves two dollars per capita, ordered the editors to gather what material they could in the present semester and issue a Quad. This book was virtually gathered together within the space of three weeks. The art was secured, statistics obtained and the matter hurriedly edited and rushed to the publisher. Only a veteran staff, such as the ' 07 Board was, could have ac- complished the feat. We submit it as a college record. The book may not be all that the reader expected for his two dollars and a half. If it is not, we advise him to stop reading it right now and to hurry back to the stall, where Messrs. Smith and Salisbury are disposing of the book to other unwary purchasers, and request his money back. You may get it back, but if you do our trust and confidence in the above mentioned gentlemen is misplaced. Take the 1907 Qu. d for what it is intended, a book of record, retaining for the college historian of the future the story of our Junior year at Stanford. BOARD OF EDITORS. ' ' -- -
