Preface. HE Board of Editors has little to say in introducing THE OASTALIAN to the public. The main object has been to present to the students of the University and especially to the class of '94, an appropriate souvenir of their University life. lf this object has been attained the public will doubtless soon learn to appreciate the factg if there has been a failure to accomplish the purpose intended, no editorial eifusions will be suflieient to cover the defect. The book lies open for judgment. In the work of gathering material for publication many favors have neces- sarily been asked, sometimes amounting almost to imposition. With few exceptions the editors have met with the most courteous treatment. It is especially appropriate that acknowledgment be made of the kindness of Dr. E. T. Tappey, of Detroit, to whom we are indebted for both the portrait and character sketch of Joshua W. Waterman. We feel certain that all trouble to which Dr. Tappey and ourselves have been subjected will be amply rewarded by the appreciation, by students and faculty alike, of our efforts to perpetuate the memory of the University's benefactor. To enable the editors successfully to carry out their object, Dr. Tappey went to no little personal inconvenience, for which we feel deeply grateful. There are many others to whom our acknowledgments are clue. The illus- trations of the story, HLove versus Hypnotism, and of the sketch entitled Excuses, are from the brush of Miss Helen L. Randall. For the excellent cut of Honorable Thomas W. Palmer we are indebted to Mr. Otis Scott, pri- vate secretary of Mr. Palmer. Dr. W. Gr. Eliot, of The University Magazine, New York, kindly furnished us several electrotypes of half-tone plates, which, owing to mechanical effect in the make-up of the book, we were unable to use. Our sincere thanks are due Judge E. D. Kinne, Rev. J. M. Gelston, S. W. Beakes, Geo. P. Goodale, of the Detroit lilwe Press, W. D. Hiestand, registrar of the University of Wisconsin, Dean J. C. Knowlton, Professor F. W. Kelsey, Mr. Raymond Weeks, Mr. Ralph Stone, of Grand Rapids, Mrs. May McNeal Reed and Mrs. Byron Cheever. Our publishers, Messrs. Beakes dz Hammond, have been invariably courteous in their treatment, and we are indebted to them for many valuable suggestions in the make-up of the book. THE Bolutn os Enrroas.
