Salutation Kind friends, we hand you here our book, Pray take it up and through it look In friendly mood, with kindly eyes, And don't severely criticize. Should all its contents suit your taste We feel our work has been well placed; But should you find weak points, why then Please bear in mind we’re only men; And if your name perchance appear Among the roasts, don't be severe, For what provokes your direst wrath May cause some other man to laugh. • -Book of ’22)

Stratum Dear Class of 1923: In reply to your request for a few lines I wish to say that I accept the honor of the dedication of your Class Record to me, as a most unexpected but deeply appreciated compliment. It is after all such things that make the work of teaching seem less arduous, and add to it the pleasantries of life. Some of you had no particular difficulty placed in the way of application to your studies, while others of you had to bear the additional—of earning while you learned. I am rather inclined to congratulate you who have been thus seemingly handicapped and believe you will find later on the blessing in it which now no doubt seems hidden from you. Whether you locate nearby or far away. I hope that I may remain your friend, and in some sense or capacity a mentor, and I shall be pleased to aid you personally or by correspondence in any way possible. W ishing you good luck, and much joy in your work, long lives and two wives (or husbands), I am Sincerely yours. OTTO E. INCUS, DOS.
