ff p FOREWORD HAT we, the class of 1918, should have the good fortune of editing the Blue Hen at this particular stage in the development of Delaware College, we esteem an exclusive privilege. For in our short college career we have known Old Delaware in her days of struggle and are, on that account, better able to appreciate her days of more happy fortune which now seem assured. We spent two years within her walls when Delaware College was wealthy in love and loyalty far out of pro- portion to her wealth of equipment and material means. For one year we have known her in the day of transition, when the old was not usable as old nor the new as new. And we now look forward to one year when we may see her fairly launched on her career of greatest usefulness. We count ourselves happy that to us should be given the task of present- ing through the college annual the remarkable changes and growth of these few years. In editing this book we wish to acknowledge the hearty co-operation of all those on whom we have called for aid of any kind. Especially do we wish to thank Mr. Charles G. Meier, who did the two color plates, Mr. Blair for the headings, Mr. Otto Thomas for cartoons. Miss Gertrude Brady and Professors Sypherd and Dutton for criticism, and The Craftsmen at Kells for their interest as well as technical skill.
