University of Idaho - Gem of the Mountains Yearbook (Moscow, ID)

Foreword The financial management of this Annual has been guided solely by two considerations: the desire to exhaust all of the resources to the greatest advantage, and the desire to avoid a deficit. The Faculty during the earlier part of the college year warned the management that any such deficit must be made up by a per capita assessment on the members of the Junior Class. It has been necessary then to reduce the number of cuts and the size of the book. The University of Idaho is a young institution and the methods by which the students conduct their affairs are yet in the experimental stage. The editors of the ‘11 “Gem of the Mountains,” then, have not attempted to follow exactly the course of any one predecessor, but to glean wisdom from the experiences of all, and to develop a new method which will lead to the attainment of the true object of an Annual—the catalouging of the student life for one year. To this end the activities of the students have been reported adequately and ‘ac- curately in their proper proportions. Attention has been given to athletics, to debate, to student organization, and to the cen- tral business of the college—the realization of social efficiency. The editors have not attempted to present an illustrated joke book. Such théy do not consider to be the purpose of an Annual, for the trué college life is not frivolous, but is full of earnestness and éndéavor. In every case then work of the deeper nature and, therefore, of greater value, has been preferred. In so much as the “11 “Gem of the Mountains” is a scholarly at- tempt to chronicle the evnts of the college year, it is successful. 84954
