IDedication HE history of Santa Clara, as we (9 ' see it from the Jubilee — standing in the latest of seventy-five years, and tracing back — is bound together by one work continuously going forward. One seed has always been sown, and one har- vest repeatedly taken. To the sower of the seed, and to the good ground where it fell and was nourished, it was first thought to dedicate this book. But neither the sower nor the good ground, of the figure, are individual. They stand for many teachers, and many students; the first speaking the Word, the others hear- ing it and keeping it. To all these teachers and students, then — many already past, and many yet to come — the editors dedicate this book.

foreword ONE counting up recent accomplishments to set them down as part of contemporary history, not unfrequently forgets the meed of gratitude due those who went before and made the present possible. Nor should this be surpris- ing since man is selfish of praise, even uninten- tionally, and might easily regard as uninteresting those labors, sufferings and achievements of his forebears on which, perhaps, much of his own present success depends. Actuated by this thought, the Editors, in preparing for this twenty-fifth volume of The Redwood, the record of our Diamond Jubilee year, have proposed to themselves a twofold aim. They have sought in the general reading matter of the book to discharge their obligations to a progressive present by chronicling faithfully the events of the year just past; and, in choosing the earlier history of Santa Clara as i ts unifying motif, to manifest their grate- ful appreciation of an illustrious past.
