Preface. Egg The subject of a class book is one that demands a deal of serious -consideration. It is a question-in every sense of the xvord-which arises With every class as it is graduated-to be answered in many and varied Ways. The editors have endeavored to make the Year Book as published by the Class of 1908, representative. not only of the Class but also. of the School. To this end many matters which, at first glance, might seem foreign to a class book. as such. have been inserted. The constant aim 'has been, however, to make the Book of interest to Yale men and, in so doing, we hope it will have been made of especial value to the members of the Class of 1908, of whom it is meant to be, primarily, representative. There will, no doubt, be faults to find. Wie ask indulgence. There will, we fear, be criticism. XVe ask that it be tempered with -mercy, for there are many calls upon men during their senior year. XVe wish to thank particularly, Professor Smith for the well-directed 'words of advice he has given us concerning the Year Book: Dr. Seymour L. Spier Whose experience, the value of which has been generously granted us, has been a great aid: Professor Yandel Henderson, who so kindly 'wrote for us the article upon 'tThe School : Superintendent Coddington :and the Prudential Committee of the New Haven Hospital through whose fgraciousness We are enabled to give the several views of the Hospitalg Mr. M. L. Mitchell of the Yale Pot-Pourri for many viev of the University, and Mr. Robert Finlay Bush. who has been inclefatigable in his work in the advertising department. VVe are grateful to Mr. XV. I. Russell of the junior Classy Mr. T. H. Russell of the Second Year Class and Mr. L. H. Levy of the First Year -Class for their articles concerning their respective classes. lVe appreciate and are thankful for the hearty support given us by the School as a whole, and those firms which have advertised with us. In conclusion, may we say, that our only hope is that the perusal of the pages to follow will give as much pleasure as has the editing of them. THE EDITOR.
