INTRODUCTION j IN the following pane I have endeavored to present a record of the Class of i«)o; as near to correctness as is possible to have it under the trying conditions, but for any defects or inaccuracies, if auy there be, within its covers, the Kditor oilers no excuse. It may Ik- strange that so small it volume could contain this remarkable record but only those facts of actual occurrence and whose authenticity can be vouched for by some member of the '‘stalT' are here recorded. Within this diminutive volume the laughable side of college life has been depicted entirely free from persona! spite or malice. So that ifonr readers find themselves the object of a jest, take pity on those whose untiring efforts have brought you to such prominence, and in the spirit of fun and forgiveness join in the laugh This hook is intended to remind us only of the pleasant side of college life, for after all. it is the only side we care to remember. If in its perusal the pages recall the faces of onr classmates with whom we associate many pleasant memories of college days, then this book will have accomplished its purpose. But to those, if there l c any, who cannot bear to have their eccentricities set down in black and white, a solemn warning is here given To avoid the fact which herein lie . 1‘ntH common sen make him more wise. For the necessary information in preparing ihi work I must acknowledge deep obligations to mv efficient editorial staff, who have worked with cal nnd untiring interest; also to other memlxis of the class who have contributed. And now, before closing nnd bidding you farewell. permit me to offer a few remarks. 1 hope that, as the years pass on, we will ever become more grateful to our professors and instructors for the interest they have taken in ns and the much good advice and instruction we have received at their hands. And may it ever he our desire to put forth this knowledge for the liencfit of our fellow-men. For surely the loveliest feeling to have in life, the one above all that makes us the happiest, is lo know that we can l e useful, that we can do good, that some one is Iiettcr and happier for our l eing alive, and to that end let us use our knowledge. We cannot deceive others without having before our minds the fact that we have also deceived ourselves. thus depriving ourselves of the onl true happiness which life affords—contentment. And remember the words of the fwet; ••I’arsitise is cheap enough: it I the hell which wc make for our etvr« that are c pensive.'' With these remarks wc offer you the product, not of our labor, but of our play, and bid you examine its pages, trusting the criticisms are freely distributed ami not too severe. I add, .t is much easier to !»e critical than to be correct JosKfit M. Mannix, JitMor- in ■ Ck it .
