Preface writer is anxious to say something of his book by way of introduction. We promise to be brief. In the tion of this, our HAWKEYE, we have spared neither time, pains, nor money. We have tried to be fair and impartial to the several departments of our University; presenting each, so far as possible, in the true light in which it may be seen to-day. ated by the one desire, that this Annual might be worthy of the University and the class it represents, we have done our best. Of our success or failure you must judge. Of the trials endured and difficulties met in the publication of this book we shall not speak. Although the task was arduous and trying, it was not without its little green spots where might rest the weary soul by hope forsaken. Our University ings we had never so realized before. All have been kind, helpful and obliging. In some we have found traits of character as beautiful as pictures in the sky. A few have expressed a strange indifference. We are greatly indebted to the professors and students for assistance rendered us, and here in the opening of our book, we hasten to make obeisance to them. To the professors and instructors of our beloved institution, proudly we present the result of our labors the realization of our hopes, knowing full well that from them we shall receive but kindly criticism. To the Alumni we give this Annual from their Alma Mater, hoping that to them it may be a veritable fountain of youth in which they may bathe and amid fancies and fond remembrances live again their college days. To our classmates, who have reposed unbounded trust and confidence in us, we offer this book as representing them. To our fellow students, who made its publication possible, this HAWKEYE in kindness is presented. The hits and grinds in which the editors have indulged are given in a most kindly spirit with the aim to be unjust to none. Our work is ended, what a glorious consolation! The office is closed. The pen falls from the hand, while the weary mind seeks other and newer fields. THE EDITORS.
