 gentetw ttitmfes to Cutty Cleon Knoles The Junior Class, U.S.C. I wish to congratulate you upon the fine compliment you pay to Professor Tullv Cleon Knoles by dedicating to him this issue of El Rodeo. You honor his superior abilities as a teacher; you honor him as a man who is devoted to his duties; you honor him as a man of worth in his strong personality. James Harmon IIoose. Tully Cleon Knoles has been my friend since his boyhood. Having been intimately associated with his school and college life, his beginning in the gospel min- istry, and his honored career as Professor of History in the College of Liberal Arts, I am glad to leave in El Rodeo my estimate of him in all these relations as stand- ing well within the first rank. As he is yet young, at once conservative and progressive, of a winning person- ality, and in character above reproach, the future gives promise of many years of growing eminence and usefulness. E. A.

 GREETINGS To give a true picture of our University, to record the events of the college year accurately and honestly, to interpret those events justly, and to season the whole with well-seasoned wit and humor, these have been the objects towards which we have striven in the preparation of this volume of the El Bodeo. That we have failed to realize onr ideals is but a proof that those ideals were high, and a manifestation of our human nature. Whatever may be the difference between the ideal and the actual, the fact still remains that we have labored faithfully, diligently and zealously to produce something that would be worthy of our class and our institution. As chroniclers, we have undoubtedly missed some things and made mistakes; as reporters, we have, without doubt, mis- taken the news value of some facts and events; as writers, we have probably broken laws of rhetoric and composition; yet. we will willingly bear all criticism for these imperfections if we have produced a book which will serve as a source of whole- some pleasure and as a reliable memory stimulant, and a book, which serves no faction, distorts no facts, does no injustice. To those who may read these pages we extend sincere greetings, hoping that, in your estimation, our book may be worthy of the institution which you love and of the greater institution for which you cherish hope and expectancy. THE EDITOR. 6
