-i n A - 3 H I - l .1 1 -4' .4 A4 lm - ' 1 -' 1 - Q 1 - T IS with a feeling of difiidence that we present the 1902 ARIEL to a critical public. For a moment we hesitate as We see the result ol our labors taking the definite form of a book to be criticised by comparison. Not that we fear personal censure, that could be borne in stoic silence. But to lower the standard of a publication ' which has been, in the past, so remarkably high, to be the cause of that for which we cannot wholly assume the consequence would cause us pain indeed. In committing this volume to your hands we merely ask a fair considera- tion in your judgement. We are aware that it is not perfect and regret that We pass this way but once, otherwise our many mistakes could be mended by experience. A few points are to be noted in the composition of the work. The pictures of the faculty have been inserted at the request of a large number of the Junior Class. In another place we make acknowledgement for contributions received from those outside the student body. We publish also a list of all students who have contributed, in any way, to the 1902 ARIEL in order to show our apprecia- tion of their efforts and as a possible incentive for contributions to future ARIELS. The method of doing this incriminates no one and fails to make proper acknowl- edgement to a few men whose contributions and criticisms help so largely to make the 1902 ARIEL what it is. In the distribution of g7'Z.7ZCiS we have tried to be fair and liberal. Race, color or previous condition of servitude have exempted no man from the hopper. If you have not been hit, do not flatter yourselfg we aimed at the higher headsg you may have been concealed among the stuff. The faculty will magnanimously forgive us for usi11g the data, with which they have furnished this department of our work. A feeling of natural antipathy impels the sparrow to attack the noble eagle as he soars majestically on high 3 yet, beneath his feathery breast the sparrow feels a profound admiration for the disdain with which the unheeding old bird 'I regards him. In modesty we say. should any suggestion of value be found in this issue of the ARIEL it may be continued along with military drill, the present athletic constitution and such barbarous institutions of our generation. If on the other hand any time-honored feature has been omitted, it may be found still waiting on the shelf with Professor T'upper's English II. examina- tion papers, and may be re-inserted by succeeding editors. After an unavoidable delay, with malice to none and good will to all, we finally submit to your charitable consideration the contents of the present vol- ume of TI-IE ARIEI4. 5
