THE WAR WHOOP OF NORWICH UNIVERSITY NORTHFIELD, VERMONT FOR THE YEAR 1908 WHOOP THE FOURTH PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1909 NORTHFIELD NEWS PRESS NORTHFIELD, VT. 1908 Introduction. Greetings to all *WAR-WHOOPERS." This is the time when it is up to the class of '09 to WHOOP-'er up and we ask all to join us. Three years we have apparently lain dormant but gradually working ourselves up to the point of publishers, great and good. Now it is done, and we have aimed to hit every one to see how many would stand the test of madness, and then, too, we wanted to say some pretty things about you. "It is up to you" to decide as to our fulfillment of this end. We have anticipated that we would have to publish a book and in fact the natural course of events would have forced it upon us anyway and so we might as well take up the duty cheerfully. Some of you may not like the cover, others may not like the pictures and still others may not like the text proper but doubtless it never has occurred to you that your likes or dislikes were the least of our worries. However, the work is done and now stands ready for your criticism, adverse or otherwise. You must be ready with one or the other. Any man who cannot criticise is about as good as a dead man. WHOOP-'er-up for us then and let as be the whole 44push'1 for a while and then we will be willing to "skiddoo" and, like the swan, give one last, long shriek and sink back into the old rut again.
