The complaint is often heard, that a school year book is of no interest to anyone not directly connected with school. This is too often true; indifferent photographs of students and student events are placed between hard covers, and the result is called a “year book.” Another extreme equally as fruitless is the yearbook which attempts to make its every sentence an oracle, and sets itself up as a censor and monitor of society. A synthesis must be reached, if the yearbook is to be a functional success: it must combine the virtues of the two extremes and omit their vices. The Don has attempted, with this present copy, to be both a source of happy memories and a gad-fly for a few thoughts. Its staff has presented USF as it was, and is, and will be. They have interpreted events as they have understood them, and strove to amuse as well as to entertain. They were not so serious as to be unable to criticize their work, but were not so flippant as to see their work as a joke. If they have succeeded they have shown the reader of USF that which Keats calls “a shadow of a magnitude.” 22

The Jesuit Fathers of St. Ignatius College had reason to be grateful on the morning of April IB, 1906. Just as first light was beginning to break on that beautiful Spring day, an earthquake had struck the city. The downtown section of the city, away to the east was burning. The college was thankful. Earthquake damage to the buildings on the campus along Van Ness Avenue was not serious, and no one thought the fire could cross Van Ness Avenue, the widest street in the city. Hut St. Ignatius College was marked for destruction nonetheless. A housewife living near the college decided to cook breakfast for her family, kindled a fire in the stove's trash burner and set the house afire because the chimney had been damaged by the earthquake. And then the house next door broke into flames and then the whole block. The wind carried the burning embers, and the wooden towers of St. Ignatius Church began to smoulder. Then the church itself burned, followed by the college, until thc(e was nothing left but bare sandstone walls and twisted steel beams. There was nothing anyone could do but carry out what you could and watch the fire destroy everything it had taken Years to build. 24
