Pref ace HE EDITORIAL STAFF, rcprcscntiiiii- the Class of Nineteen ilnndred and Five, in presenting this, the ninth vokmie of the Reveille, ' has endeavored to make the book worthy of the class and of the college. It has been our endeavor to chronicle the events in as interesting a manner as possible, and while we do not entertain the hope of pleasing all, we ask that you at least appreciate our efforts in so far as they deserve merit. The various strdent organizations have lieen treated impartially, and we liave tried to give each as much space and pnniinence as is consistent with the size of our book. If any one thinks he has been roasted too severely, we wish to say that we have given what the occasion seemed to deir.and and have been moved by no persijnal motives whatever. We wish here to extend our thanks and appreciation to those who have so kindly cooperated with us in the production of this work. And now, with the feeling that we have not labored in vain and with the hope that this work will be a lasting credit to the class and to the college, we cease from those long hours of toil necessary in the production of such a work.
