Foreword T is with a feeling of relief that the Editorial Board of the iijio Quad completes its labors and submits the finished product to vou. men and women of Stanford. AFay it be deemed worthy of its predecessors. All is quiet along the Potomac aptly describes the state of the campus during the year which this book covers. This period of unparalleled calm presents a striking con- trast to the internecine turmoil that disturbed the editorial equanimity of the preceding Quad Board. Yet our incumbency has not been without its excitement. At one time or another we have contended with the flunk out system, with Cupid ( several times ) , with Plug Ugly aftermath, and finally with the mumps. Still other influences too boomerangic to mention have had their share in relieving the monotony incident to the routine gathering of material. That the art work makes half the Quad is a familiar doctrine at Stanford, and, recognizing its truth, we have made art a leading feature of our volume. Full page color plates are introduced for the first time in this edition of the Quad and appropriate drawings have been inserted at every possible point. Josh and College Year sources were far from numerous during the year and consequently these departments have under- gone a decided change. Especially is this true of the former section from which the absence of our genial faculty friends will be noted for the first time in many years. The important role played by the women students in Stanford life finds a long withheld recognition in the establishment of a separate department for their activities. And, lastly, the literary depart- ment has been restored in the form of reminiscential contributions from well-known alumni. Unburdened with ])hantom ideals, it has been our sole purpose from the start to preserve in permanent form those events and features of Stanford life around which the Stanford Spirit crystallizes. And in doing this we have not seen fit to deviate far from the well trodden paths of former editors. The Editors. Stanford Quad 1910
