Excerpt from The Grist, 1908, Vol. 11A year-book of this kind, to be valuable, should be truthful, instructive and interesting, and these three points have been kept in mind, but our path has deviated at times from our hard and fast ideals. In fact, we do not vouch for the truth of anything in this book, except the integrity of the advertisers (better look through the last eighteen pages) and the scores of the basketball games, for many of the jokes and taps were contributed by non union members of the Y. M. C. A., and our detective force could not spare the time to trace every mysterious allusion, or even ascertain whether some particularly witty remark was not made by Sam Jones or Tom Brown instead of by Jim Doe or John Smith. So do not look for us with a gun, if you are accused Of saying or doing something which you never thought of dreaming. A joke is a joke, and never a mean trick, so grin, bear it, and do the same to others when you are Juniors.For the instructive portion, we start in with a list of instructors. The calendar bears dates which may be famous (it shows that the twenty-fifth of last December was Christmas, and other equally important facts), another section tells what a small college can do in athletics, and gives photos of some of the world's most noted athletes, and the table of contents will direct you to the systematic reading of a good book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
