Excerpt from The Sibyl, 1901: The First Volume of the Tenth Sibylline BookT seems fitting that with the birth of the new century a project such as this should be carried to a successful com plerion. Several times the publication of a college annual has been discussed, but all to no purpose. It has remained for the class of '02, to complete this seemingly difiicult task. We would not have you think, however, that this annual is strictly a class affair. The book belongs to the Whole student body, but represents in an active way the loyalty and college spirit of the members of '02. In this volume, it has been the aim of the editors to present to our friends every phase of the college and college life. We have tried to deal im partially with all. W e offer no apologies, and trust that none will take offense at anything that has been said. Our efforts have been tireless that this book may present Otterbein University as it really is. Otterbein should have had an annual long ago. Of all the various methods of advertising an educational institution, none perhaps does more efficient work than the annual, and we believe that through this book Otterbein will be more widely known than ever before.One word, however, should be said concerning the beginning of this movement. It was during the summer of last year, that a-member of our class came into possession of an annual published by a college similar to our own. Being struck with fie novelty and practicability of the idea, he immediately conceived the purpose of publishing a like book at Otterbein, and took steps to this end. To his bosom friends he confided his scheme, patiently waiting for the time when he could present it to the class. But alas! As many another man, he did not live to see his plans completed. To Joseph H. Caulker belongs all the credit of this new' idea, not new in other colleges, but new in Otterbein. It was his eye that saw the opportunity, and it is the inspiration that his life left which has accomplished the undertaking.
