TK HAVE been told that jioets are l m and not math ami w believe t hat the sanu thing maybe snitl of writers of Annuals. We have felt from our childhood that we had n mission to perform in this college world, and as we grew apace and waxed strong, we realised that that mission was the pnblishing of a book which should enlighten anti elevate our fellow students and give them wisdom. For that pnrjiose our class came into existence (though many other glorious things have been wroughti and now our mission is performed: the dream of our youth is an accomplished fact. Behold our Royal Book of Wisdom! It is with pleasure that we present to you the tirst fruit of our .Junior jh-h. May you read it and grow wise! If you have fault to timl with it. remember that we never wrote an “Annual” before. Another time we might do better, even as we have im- proved ti|K n our predecessors' products. Our idea has not been to write a Classic, edit a Puck or Life, or publish a History of the World all of which we might, of course, have done but rather to furnish you a reminder of the Hchool year 1898 99. We have no apologies to offer for our lxxik why should we have? And from natural modesty we cannot sing its merited praises we leave that for you to do. As a convenient directory and an interesting chapter in the story of the life and work of their Alma Mater, we think our book will Ik- appreciated by the Alumni: while to the students we are sure it will prove an acceptable and enjoyable souvenir of this year's successes. We have endeavored to represent all phases of our college life tin fun. the |Kith«»s. and the ordinary routine. Of our success we leave you to judge. As a whole we wish that our book should please you. and we feel confident that it will. Some, of course, will censure and find fault, but more, we hojie. will Is- pleased and satisfied. And may this little volume, as we semi it out from it:- sheltered nest into the wide world, find a place in the homes ami hearts of those who look Istek on. or forward to. oral present enjoy, tin- blessings of college life. 7
