1SS S S S S e A e O o N offering this book to the publie, we wish to say that we have earnestly endeavored to portray undergraduate life at the College both in a seri- olis and in a frivolous aspect. It has required a great deal of work to publish this annual, im- perfect as it may seem in many details, and we sincerely hope that it will meet with vour favor. The board has realized from the beginning that it is incapable of producing such a book as it would desire; still, since the proposition was put before us we accepted it heartily, and now you have the results. The board wishes to thank the members of the faculty and stu- dent body for their kind assistance. If after reading this book vou find that it is not up to your expectations, try to . imagine a few of the ohstacles which we have had to deal with, of which not the least troublesome was the time taken necessarily from regular college work and devoted to its preparation. THE BOARD. 12

It iz enough to say that to know him is an inspiration to nobler thoughts and better deeds. Bold and fearless against wrong in any of its protean forme, yvet, with a gentleness almost womanly, he has led the way through many a trying hour, and in vietory with equal poise and centering, gave assurance that all the issues are worthy of the struggle. Safe in leadership, wise in counsel, and sane in purpose, he is truly and reverently the grand old man of the Board of the Trustees. 11
