As we shall attempt this work, we will ever keep in mind the requisites of a true historian, and while we can easily comply with some of them, we feel that there is one from which we would prefer to be excused. We are told a historian should have strict regard for the truth. If it had been for part of the truth, it would have suited us better; but we infer that the whole truth is meant. So, gentle reader, if you see anything in the following which is strange or of a questionable character, remember that the writer holds truth in the highest regard, using it only when nothing else will do; and the writer here declares that he will be responsible for all herein contained and is ready to answer any inquiry or defend all of said volume. Keeping these things in mind, enter thou and behold the great achievements of the class of '93. 44
