Foreword As you turn these pages, be not too harsh in your criticisms. This volume represents our ideal of a class book in but small degree. An account of the difliculties encountered in getting out a book such as this, especially after the close of school, would indeed be heart- rending. Vile have resolved to make noiexcuses, rather to hope that the book, though mute, will be eloquent. In one respect our fondest hopes have been realized, even surpassed. The wealth of fine drawings to be found herein is due solely to the efforts of a member of our class, who has assisted more than any one else to produce this volume. To Crothers the editors, speaking for the class as well, extend their hearty thanks. If this volume, at some future time when our hair has turned gray or disappeared entirely, shall call to mind long-forgotten scenes, with their numerous associations, so dear in boyhood, yet dearer in later lifefthen will it become a thing of true worth, a book which fulfills its purpose.
