N OT without some misgivings, we have omitted a considerable

amount of tabular and statistical material that has been a

feature of the IVY for a number of years . orne of this will

probably not be regretted, and much of it, as it seems to us, comes

more particularly within the province of the official publications of

the College than of a student venture, designed, as is the IvY, to re­

flect the life of the undergraduate. Whatever one's theory on this

question, however, the point to be decided is whether we have se­

lected wisely in choosing to fill the space usually given to this

dead matter with material of more immediate interest. We cannot

hope for unanimity in the decision, but feel confident of a substantial

majority.

Our labors have been lightened and their results rendered more

satisfactory than they could otherwise have been by the willing

assistance of numerous friends among the faculty, alumni, under­

graduates, and others. We are especially indebted to Doctor Arthur

Adams for his expert assistance in correcting the proof, and to ~!Ir. J. A. Wales, '01, and ~!Iiss Inafold Wilson, of Buffalo, for their clever

drawings.

~Iuch verbiage in the preface does not help the book ; so without

more ado we commend to the charity of all to whom Trinity

is dear, the 1912 IvY.
