8 THE IRIS 08 Greetings It was beneath the friendly roof of our dear old Normal, guided by the molding influence of our honored teachers and with the sympathies of our fellow students, that we have gained the inspiration which has made possible this book, and that we have found the courage to now present it to you. That you may not mistake our purpose and criticise us unjustly, we here state that it has been our honest endeavor to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. During the present school year we have found many ethical, aesthetic, and otherwise important principles struggling for expression. If space lias not permitted of giving an extended biography of all of you who have solicited our favor, do not feel slighted, for it simply means you are not typical of your species; and remember that there is still such a thing as “Much Ado About Nothing.” If in years to come the Iris of ’08 proves a solace in your lonesome hours or a link to bind you to the days we spent together, the expectations of the StalT will have been realized and the mission of this book fulfilled.
