Foreword Thk Lucky Bag is the chief claim of the Class of 1904 to future remembrance. Beyond a doubt its individual members will all win glory and fame for themselves in the days to come, but this book must be the monument to mark 1904‘s place as a class in the scenes whence it has departed. In these pages we have tried to recall the brighter side of our Academy life. Troubles we have had, but most of them will soon be over, and they arc better forgotten, while the joys should live in our memories: so that when we turn these pages in the future our happiest and best days will be recalled and we may look back to our Alma Mater with a feeling of love and regret for the «lays that are gone. We have done our best to make this book a credit to the class and present it to the public with the hope that they may grant that we have done so. If it fails to meet your approval, remember that we have tried and spent no little labor in its preparation, and give tis the charity of silence. If you think it is what it should be. tell us so. and your words will go far to repay us for the time and energy we have expended and the difficulties we have had to overcome. May the Lucky Bag cement the bonds of friendship that we have formc«l in three years and a half of close compani mship and be an enduring memento of our days together, with all their joys and troubles, their successes and failures, and. above all. the friends closer than a brother that they have brought us. 9
