W m FOREWORD A S you open this book and glance through its opening pages, you are about to con¬ template a work in which considerable effort has been expended. There has been be¬ hind this direct effort an indirect force working, continually reminding of the purpose which this book hopes to accomplish. This purpose might be manifold, but primarily it has been the aim of the board in this volume of the Aftermath to review in as complete and con¬ cise a way as possible the principal events of this last college year, and to give a short syn¬ opsis of the history of the Class of 1924. May this class survive to carry out the policies of loyalty and faithfulness it has thus far enter¬ tained in relation to its Alma Mater. And then there is a deeper purpose—one not appre¬ ciated now — but in later years, as we pick up this book, it is the hope that it will stir up again those fond memories of college days and that it will literally make us live again with those classmates who are so dear to us. As we carry on this work it is with the hum¬ ble realization that it is too great a task for us. However, we present our best, and if there be any credit to the work accomplished, it is to the Class of 1924. The Board.
