Preface. lVho lhinkx zz jwzf-f1ju'ra' lo m- ! l' Thinkx wha! llL L'l' wax, nor is uw' c'ur nm lr. - ol'E. xfiig- f1IE editors ofthe Gorumu are well aware of the high stand- ard demanded and maintained in recent animal publica- ' tions of students of the larger American Colleges and Universities and notably of our own University of Minnesota. A few years ago such publications were often nothing more than the poorly bound and cheaply printed receptacles for dry college statistics and questionable personalities and caricatures. 'l'o-day the best of them are the truthful and interesting exponents of every possible phase of student life and organization. Finely hound and printed, richly illustrated, containing many articles of a valuable historical or descriptive nature, abounding in wit and hmnor and full ol' artistic and poetical couceits, they are often worthy of a conspicious place in every home and library and are a peculiar witness to the taste and ability as well as to the life of the American student. Such, at least, is the ideal college annual and with such an ideal constantly before us we have planned and labored. It has been our purpose to publish an annual that should be simple and natural in the arrangement, and complete and i1upa1'tial in the statement ol' fact: that should give equal representation to every department, class, and organization ol' the University: that should please all and oflfend none by its jokes and wittieisms and that should leave nothing to be desired either in thc number and quality of its illustrations or in the style and beauty of its binding and printing. It is not for us to say that our purpose is accomplished. Indeed we know that it is not. 'l'he result of our labor is far different from what we planned and expected. We console ourselves how- ever, with tl1e thought so well expressed in the quotation at the top of the page, and with the consciousness that we have given to the work all the time and perhaps more than we could well afford. We have done our best and must leave with our readers the result. lVe trust that in the perusal of the following pages they will experience as much pleasure and profit as we have derived from their production and publication. We expect criticising yet we trust that much will be found that is worthy of eommendation.
