12 THE 1908 INDEX VOLUME XXXVlII Foreword HE 1908 INDEX BOARD for the Junior Class presents this, the thirty-eighth volume of the Index. In compiling the book two main objects were kept in view. In the first place, to make it a class book, a book to which the men of 1 908 may turn in future days and find chronicled and pictured therein the many happenings and incidents which go to make the days spent in college the hap- piest days in life. Secondly, to picture, in a more general way, the life of the college as a whole in a manner that will be pleasing to the student body, inter- esting to the general public, and iristructive to secondary school men who are considering the choice of a college. If we have succeeded in doing these things, the work is a success. The reader must decide. Finall y, we earnestly thank every person who by thought, word, or deed, has helped to make the book less unworthy of Old Massachusetts.
