Excerpt from The Year Book, 1918 Our Year Book goes the way Of all books today - the way of the war. We have no desire to glorify war; we do not want to emphasize its hideousness, nor are we dazzled by any fascinating glamour it may present. But the war is our business at present; it affects our happiness, our beliefs, our whole lives. We cannot ignore a thing which is so essentially a part of us; rather, we must know it well, and reckon with it. For that reason, we remind you Of our classmates and alumni who are in the midst of the war, and we publish a list Of war literature which we hepe may be a means of bringing all of us in closer sympathy with them and with the ideals for which they stand. In other ways, also, the war atmosphere pervades our book. We would not have it otherwise. The members Of the Year Book Staff express their appreciation and gratitude to all the faculty members, classmates, and undergraduates who have helped to make possible the success of the year book Of 1918.
