Show ForewordLTHOUGH perhaps it cannot be included in the category "famous history to be enrolled in the everlasting monuments of time," this book is nevertheless a true history, in that it endeavors to give a faithful account of the year's activities, pointing out at times the advance made over the records of previous years. No record is necessary of hours spent in lab and class work. The professors have them-such as they are. It is with other things that we are concerned; those victories and those triumphs in defeat, not alone upon the stage, on the forum, and in athletics, but in the many little things which lend that distinctive charm to college life. And we have found so much of this to chronicle that very little of a purely literary or artistic value has found space. The pictures we have used have had a meaning, and the scratchings of our pens have been confined to fact, not fancy. The result is, as you see, a mere compilation of the events in our school since the last Utonian appeared.We hope that the Regents, the Faculty and the Alumni will find something of interest in its pages, and that it may impress our friends and the outside world as being a credit to the school. But, above all, it is pur hope that when in years to come, you people of the present day in our college life look through these pages, you will find on each one some pleasant reminder of those days which are perhaps to be the happiest in your lives. After all it is to you, students, you who are making the history which it is our happy privilege to record that we want this book mostly to appeal, and in whatever degree you are satisfied, just so are we.We wis-h to thank those who have so generously contributed of their time and talent in preparing material for the book, both in a literary and in an artistic way. To the contributors any merit which you may find is due. The faults you may, of course, attribute to us-that is what we are for.THE EDITORS. |
