Ht East xw x HE VOLUNTEER needs no introduction. It has been introduced on 'qu K all occasions. Every one has heard of its birth, its christenin , its C Kit l . . g Li t3 bf i f: death and 1ts rev1vilication, and now every one has the privilege of turn- w l 9, fl! 111g over 1ts pages, and of adding his comment, be it favorable or adverse. jvak It has been a difficult matter to publish an Annual at the a bx University. In athletics the University has come to the top, 7 K yw a s and may look around with pleasure upon its inferior base-ball VII hKX and foot-ball contemporaries. In the publication of a strictly literary magazine, the students have also been particularly successful, for the 72721265566 Uzzz'zrcrsz'ar fllagazz'zzc is now generally recognized by contemporaries, north, south, east and west, as one of the very best of college publications. The need of an Annual has been felt in the University ever since its rapid growth began. Many times has the matter been brought before the students by those especially interested in the Universityys success, but for various reasons after some discussion and labor these bright visions have always vanished. Mr. L. G. Rice, ISM, was elected Editor of the proposed Annual in 1893, but through lack of enthusiasm among the students, the publication for that year was abandoned. One or two later attempts were equally unsuccessful. In the fall of 1896, Mr. Edwin Wiley, the University librarian, who has always been interested in student publications, was elected Editor-in-Chief, but, unfor- tunately, was called away from the city soon after. The present board of editors in introducing the VOLUNTEER to the students and friends of the University, make no apologies for its appearance. They have lived up to the best that was in them. They ask, however, a critical public to bear in mind the following propositions: t D The VOLUNTEER is the first Annual ever published at the University of Tennessee, and, consequently, the editors have had no models to follow, but have been compelled to devise and originate. ml After it was over half completed its copper plates and zinc etchings, to the value of more than one hundred dollars, together with nearly all the manuscript copy, were destroyed in the disastrous Knoxville fire of April 8th. Thus, the editors were compelled, just two months before the close of school, to begin their difficult task again. Ml Each organization is responsible for the compilation of its own matter. The fraternities and University German Club paid for the extra space occupied. The Editor wishes to thank all of those who have interested themselves in the success of the VOLUNTEER. He feels grateful for all of the assistance given, and desires especially to thank Messrs. Ijains, Wegener, Bishop and Donaldson, and Misses Ellen and Catherine Wiley for the art work contained in this volume. The first named gentleman drew the elaborate cover design.
