This is certainly the conclusion we have come to after carefully reading during four years the numerous "specially prepared" volumes of balderdash passing incognito as textdx>oks. For this reason we have finally decided on a new departure, in presenting a hook which would he able to stand 011 its own legs, as it were, without the support of a quibbling, apologetic preface. Still this hook has a purpose—a purpose which to many of us now is perhaps not even superficially apparent. Four years ago we mack' our appearance here on the eve of a great revolution. Everything was hanging in suspense, even the clock in the guard house stood still, waiting for a move which was sure to come. There were rumors, mutterings, vibrations, everything was a-quiver. Suddenly the storm broke—and—1<;°4 was caught in the deluge. Of those days much has keen written, more spoken, hut only [904 knows the quantity of gray matter that was expended in thought. We were the victims both before and after. We were the ones who were charged year after year by each graduating class to keep up the old spirit in the corps. Now we stand alone, our work is about finished. And you ask the question: "Have we suc ceeded?" Your answer is in the corps right now. The corridors of time are always open to the doubting. The comparison in some cases may he odious but surely convincing. To keep alive in our memory those days of restraint and transition is the purpose of this hook. To some of us it will bring pleasant reminiscences made mellow by the magic touch of time—to others only grim reminders of toil and labor whose sting has been softened because they are part of the past. Our future is not a cloudless sky. but even if cloudy, we have the halm in knowing that at least a few of those fleecy clouds in that chimerical azure blue beyond must have a silver lining. We leave, hoping that the good-will and friendship existing between the different classes is as ripe and sincere as it has been pleasant to us. 11 Perhaps as you turn these pages you will find many things omitted—per haps many have been inserted that should have been omitted. However that may he. do not attribute it to the lack of material to work with, on one side, or to the absence of the Editors' blue pencil, on the other. ( >ur one aim has been to portray every scene as it actually existed and appealed to us. If this book succeeds in this, it will not grow yellow with age in vain. In conclusion., let it be understood that this book is not the work of a few men. It would have had an untimely death but for the hearty co-operation of every member of the class of 1904, to whom all thanks are due. 12 BOARD °f VI5ITDR5 JUNE, 1903 Appointed by tin' President of the United States I.
