Preface TRADITION and precedent play a large part in the history of every institution. It is difficult for a class, as well as an individual, to step aside from the beaten path of its predecessors and to map out new lines with the hope that those who come after will follow them. Vet as the college grows, as its field of activity widens, as its inner life develops, so must those instruments by which that development is fostered grow with it. Believing this and seeing Ursinus rapidly earning recognition in new and higher intellectual centers, assuming a commanding position in athletics, and developing a broader and better inner life, the Class of 1905 felt that the duty devolved upon them to break the precedents established by former staffs and to put forth their efforts toward the production of a larger Ruby, which we trust will more fully represent the progress of our beloved Alma Mater. Undoubtedly we will receive the censure that ever falls upon the innovator, but we would ask the reader to remember that in breaking from the past we have had to set up our own standard and have not had the mistakes of others to guide us to perfection. With these words we submit the 1905 Ruby for your judgment.
