Jforetoorb There is always a tendency to look back upon the past through a glass of roseate hue, to tint the days of long ago with the bright lustre of romance. Thus there is no doubt, but that among many Southerners the days before the war were the happiest, the brightest, the gayest and the best. Such a habit of mind is not peculiar only to the people of the South, or to those of any other section of the country, nor is it wholly an American trait. In the days of Cromwell, the Cavaliers looked back with sad longing upon the glorious times of Good Queen Bess, and in the licentious days that followed the Commonwealth the people again looked back with a feeling of almost awe for the laws and order that once had reigned in England. And so when we find that the Alumni of Sewanee look back upon the old times as the golden days we see that it is but human nature to add the tint of romance to the days gone by. Let it be plainly understood, that we do not for one instant maintain that there was not something at Sewanee that gave to her glor- ious past a hue of real brilliancy. A mere glance into her history will prove that. The purpose of this book is to show to the students of the present day that all the old mannerisms, all the old customs and traditions which have been handed down to the present are worth while, and to show the Alumni that there is still much of that old dash and spirit which so characterized the Sewanee they knew and loved. There is little place for an annual which merely records the actual deeds accomplished during one year, for those are statistics which can easily be found in the papers and periodi- cals. This annual hopes to be an expression of the spirit, the aim and the ideals of this Mountain. To show the present Se- wanee that the spirit and ideals which made Sewanee famous are the only means through which the record of her glorious past can be continued; and to show the Alumni that the in- domitable spirit and those high ideals are still alive and uncon- querable here.
