We aimed at nothing higher, and hoped for nothing less. We are glad to have this opportunity of thanking those who have so kindly assisted us in making this book what it is. To Dr. Hall, and Messrs. John Weymouth, J. S. Wilson, A. R. W. Mackreth, O. L. Shewmake, W. L. Davidson, L. C. Lindsley, and many others, we are deeply indebted for the literary matter. We also wish to gratefully acknowledge our appreciation of the contributions made the art department, being under special obligations to Prof. Craw- ford, Misses Tyler, Geddy and McEnery, and Messrs. Hynson and Ransome. We thank all others, everybody; yes, even those who only lent their faces, for it takes all to make an annual. THE BOARD. \ll:\V 111' (AMl'lS IHIIM MIK 1 IIU hST.
