Dr. Brown Ayres N JANUARY 5, 1904, Dr. Charles William Dabney tendered his resignation as President of the 0 University of Tennessee, and on September I, 1904, he was succeeded by Dr. Brown Ayres, Dean of the Academic College, and Professor of Physics and Astronomy in Tulane University of Louisiana. Brown Ayres was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on the 25th of May, 1856, the son of Samuel W. and Elizabeth tCooki Ayres. He received his early education in private schools of Memphis, and later in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he resided after! the death of his father. After attending Washington and Lee University, where he was a student of the first rank, Dr. Ayres went to the Stevens Institute of Technology, at Hoboken. New Jersey, from which institution he received the degree of B. Sc. in 1878, and that of Ph. D. in 1888. After spending several years at the John Hopkins University, Dr. Ayres was chosen Professor of Physics at Tulane in 1880 where he remained for twenty-four years. When the College of Technology was organized in 1894, Dr. Ayres became its Dean, and having been eminently successful in making it one of the greatest engineering schools in the South, it was quite natural that he should become the Chairman of the Faculty and Dean of the Academic Department. Dr. Ayres is a member of many of the leading scientific societies of the United States and has been very active in general educational and scientific work, and is highly considered among engineers and scien- tific men of America. He was a member of the Jury of Electricity at the Cqumbian, Atlanta and Nashville Expositions. He is a member of Delta Psi Fraternity and Tau Beta Phi and Phi Kappa Phi Honor Frater- nities. In the early days of President Dabney's administration, Dr. Ayres was tendered a professorship in the University of Tennessee, but found it impossible to accept the offer. He has also been a member of the fac- ulty of the Summer School of the South. Though he has been at the head of the University less than a year, Dr. Ayres has, by his gentlemanly courtesy and enthusiastic interest in every phase of our University life, completely won the hearts of everybody, and under his wise and efficient leadership the University can not but go forward and assume its proper place among Southern institutions.

W Preface w HE portrayal of a year at college has been our task, and now that the curtain is drawn and the picture is shown, our question is, Is it well done? The obstacles have been many, and the trials more, and to all who have aided in its publication, the management of the hVolunteer extends its heartiest thanks. There will come to each and every student times when his or her thoughts will revert to those days of existence when life was sweetest and most enchanting-the hours lived on our beautiful campus, and hallowed by its associations and memories; and it is hoped that these leaves will serve to make Vivid again the days of 1904-05. May your hearts never be forgetful of the city on the ttHill, and if this small volume shall serve its purpose, or in any way add to the glory and honor of Tennessee, we shall consider that we have not labored in vain.
