3ntrotiuctton N introducing this volume we would introduce it as a history and biography of the Class of 1908. It is a book of truths and facts; but in the chronicling of these facts I think the editors have been actuated by that impulse best described by one of our noted authors when he said that nude facts are not liable criminally any more than newly born, babes are liable for their nakedness. But in the same manner as the nude babe is expected to be made attractive by its clothing before it is presentable to the world, so are the nude facts expected to be embellished and made as attractive as possible before presented to the reader. I f in the judgment of our readers we have attained any degree of success in making these babes of facts interesting and attractive, we must attribute that success to the hearty co-operation of the editorial board, to the skill and willingness of our artist, and to the untiring and successful work of our business manager. 1 regret to say that at the present writing there are still two or three photos being withheld from the hook. The explanation for this attitude has not been given, but perhaps in their judgment, although their forms are embellished by clothing, they still deem themselves too unattractive to appear before the public. RAY CRAWFORD BEERS, Editor in Chief. 7
