SEMOF TRE HMOUTTALHS UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO with certain mental reservations, that all the men and women are merely players. But why a stage and players without a play and an audi- ence, and a means of communication with that audience? Many agencies are constantly at work bringing to the attention of the people of the state, the alumni and the absent brother something of campus and gen- eral intra and extra mural university activity; but the Annual is the only one in which the student himself without let or hindrance operates the spot light, featuring and accentuating whatever pleases his fancy and throwin g into the shadow that which, in his judgment, appears less worthy of note. Not only does he throw its relentless rays upon the foibles of his fellows for the moment, but he preserves a changeless record for future generations that men may look and learn and take warning. In ancient days men erected pyramids, obelisks and other monuments in order that the memory of their lives and their achievements might not perish from the earth. The thought of passing on and eternally out has always been abhorrent to the mind of man. When the day for the final exit is at hand the in- stinct which prompted the erection of the monuments of old as- serts itself, and one of its manifestations is the college annual. Emerging as we now are from the shadow of the Great World War, it is believed that this little volume particularly justifies its publication as a chronicle of the events of that momentous period and the notable part taken therein by the University, its faculty, its students and its alumni.
