Presentation. ' If a.ny of us spea.k nvell, a.ppla.ud him ; If any speak ill, applaud him too ' VERY book has an introduction, and it would not do for Volume XXX. of the Index to omit that important opening, although we are all well aware that few pause to read the preface. In fact we ourselves have never read one till it be- came necessary to do so, in order that we might know what an introduction really is, and what it should contain. It was solely with this purpose in view that we perused, with great care, the opening pages of twenty-nine volumes of the Aggie Annual, and you can imagine with what astonishment, and we may say bewilder- ment, we found the introductions almost identical in each. We were bewildered to know why this was so : was there some unwritten law which we must follow in writing our introduction, that in it we must boast of our many fine points, of our originality, and of our superiority over all other similar works ; and must we copy that time-worn twenty-nine times repeated saying, We have anticipated for you a little surprise; viz., its enlargement, new form of cover, and improved general appearance, or, ' We wish to call particular attention to the originality of our work ? etc. Now, originality Is the great feature of our work, and we cannot be an originalist and a copyist at the same time ; so we will forbear the use of such expressions, and simply say : We have tried to please ; we have tried to arrange our statistics in as interesting a manner as possible ; we have tried to bring to your notice the improvements about college and the progress which our Alma Mater has made during the year ; we have also tried to recall to your memory the many little happenings, — the little incidents, accidents, and slips in a manner pleasing to ever} one. We have endeavored to tell you something about a l the prominent men in college ; and if by chance the name of one has been omitted who conscien- tiously feels that his prominence entitles him to mention, to him we say, Forgive us ; it was an oversight, due undoubtedly to our lack of experience. Trusting we will receive the hearty support of our fellow- students and the friends of the College, and hoping that our efforts will be appre- ciated, that our defects will be overlooked, we present this — the Thirtieth Volume of the Index.
