8 The 1916 Argo Introduction |ENTLE reader, permit us to introduce the 1916 Argo, and to ex- press the hope that, in spite of faults and imperfections, it will prove mteresting and entertainmg. We realize that the Argo has none of the qualities that go to make up a best seller. There is no plot that takes the Princess and her poor — but honest lover through danger and intrigue, and finally places them on a throne to the tune of The Wedding Glide. Nor is there a grewsome crime, whose perpetrator is brought to justice by Slippery Sam, the Six Eyed Sleuth. This book does not even expound a plan for getting rich quick that will cause hundred dollar bills to pour into your back yard until it resembles an alfalfa pasture in September. If you want adventure, mystery, and heart interest you may as well close this book now, and turn to The Rosary, or Graustark, or the Congressional Record. Above all, gentle reader, don ' t open this book expecting to find war news, for you will be bitterly disap pointed. We did intend to have an article from the front, but our correspondent was shot as a spy while sketch- ing the Kaiser ' s favorite meerscTiaum pipe. To tell the truth, we don ' t care a snap who wins, — a detachment of Boy Scouts could clean up the whole bunch ! If you are willing to tear yourself away from your lessons or business long enough to glance through a book that won ' t make cold shivers chase themselves up and down your spine and won ' t bring hideous dreams every ni?ht for a week, we feel that this number of the Argo is worth your time. For we have tried to tell in word and picture the story of a year at Westmin- ster. How well we have succeeded you must decide for yourself. Perchance, fellow-student, years hence, when you wake up some fine morning and find your golden or auburn or raven locks streaked with gray, your mind will turn back to college days. With a sigh you will take this volume from the shelf, blow the dust from its edges, and read again the ac- count of long forgotten lectures and sledloads. If at that time, when the joys and pains of college life are blended m pleasurable memories, this book will remind you of the happy times we are now having together, the editors will be amply repaid for their work.
