With the coming of May, we look forward to the appearance of this so-called annual, and lo, when we open the cover for the first time, we perceive that we hold in our hands a bouquet of everlast- ingsfi Has there ever been a CONOCOCHEAGUE Board that did not turn the pages of the yearbooks of five, ten, twenty years ago . . . with laugh- ter, surprise, curiosity, and then a feeling of continuity, of belonging? ls there one alumna who at moving or house-cleaning time, regard- less of general chaos, does not dust off her CONOCOCHEAGUE, sit down in the middle of the floor, and remember . . . days, hours, minutes? A year,s record of events, this 1911-0 CONOCOCHEAGUE, but a record too of an everlasting spirit, of friendship, an entire fellow feeling as to all things, human and divine ,... and I doubt whether anything better than this, wisdom alone excepted, has been given to men by the immortal gods. MARGARET CRISWELL DISERT, Dean

l take pleasure in greeting the Class of 1910 and all others for whose enjoyment this volume is intended. If you read between the lines-whether now or two score years from nowfl think you will sense here the spirit of Wilsotlls sincere devotion to the highest ideals of aeademie attainment and undisguised interest in the life of the mind and spirit: a voracious appetite for sport of all kindsg an interest in writing and drama and every mode of expression: andgnot least important-an acknowledgment of responsibility to others which rests upon the solid basis of a recognized responsibility to be ont-'s best self. The quiet strength of the Wilson tradition is wrought from the inner strength and balance of its students and family. So it has always been at Wilson. and so it will continue to be. PAl'L SWVAIN HAVENS, President
