1911 M I CH I CAN ENS I AN LJfi Foreword A 5 a preface to the 1911 Michiganensian, we wish to make a few explanations and statements in regard to the somewhat different arrangement of some sections of the book, the addition of much new material and the elimination of some things which the readers are accustomed to seeing in the senior yearbook. During the years in which the Michiganensian has grown from the little volume of some 300 pages that appeared in 1897, to the present almost cumbrous volume, the character of the matter contained each year has been crystallized into a certain class of material, consisting of histories and statistics of the year ' s events in all the branches of student activity, the pictures of classes and various organizations and societies and of the individual seniors, and we have recog- nized the fact that the senior annual has grown to represent, not only the senior classes and their interests, but certain other things in college life, and have made no radical changes beyond adding a little here and there, and modifying or perhaps eliminating material which we have considered of least importance in order to make room for the new things, and throughout the book making such changes in the arrangement of material as we have thought would make the book more attractive or more readable or sightly, for the Michiganensian is really more of a picture book than anything else. The Michiganensian has this year recognized many new organizations and has given space to several forms of student activity, never before recognized in the book to any extent, such as the Forestry School, the successful campaign for residential halls for women, which has been going on for several years, and women ' s athletics in the form of a field day. This has considerably increased the number of pages in these sections of the book, and to keep it from becoming too bulky and expensive, we have eliminated some matter which we have deemed of least value as a record or of little interest to the student body, who are the prin- cipal reade rs of the book. We have omitted entirely the joke section as having no warranted place in the book, and as being a slight invasion of the field of the Gargoyle, which can be more up-to-date in its humor than can the Michiganensian. We have tried a new arrangement of the organizations of the University, grouping those of similar nature in sections, and while we realize that we have come far short of solving the problem of pleasing everyone in this matter, still we hope that this arrangement will be fairly satisfactory in the way of designating the character of societies and organizations. Preceding the organization section of the book is a further explanation of this grouping, which will make clear our position and reasons for this change. Because of the difficulty experienced by the majority of readers in finding material in a book of this size, without the aid of an index, we have introduced this new feature of the book and trust it will prove of use. We have made this as brief and handy and yet as com- plete as possible in the small space which we have been able to devote to this, not attempting the endless and rather useless task of indexing the names of students appearing in the book, for the seniors are all arranged in alphabetical order and the index to the organizations will be usually sufficient for the location of any other students. Our dedication of the 1911 Michiganensian to the Hon. Chase S. Osborn has been due to our appreciation of his valuable services to the University while Regent and as the Governor of Michigan and his fellow feeling for the student body. We cannot help but feel that Gov. Osborn is with us in every step we take, and have tried to express our admiration and regard for him as a man, a good citizen, and a loyal friend of the University. We are especially proud of the art work in this year ' s book, and wish to express our appreciation of the very able efforts of all those who have helped us in this work. We [12]
