It can readily be seen that we have diverged from all stereotyped methods in the plan and preparation of this work. And have blazed out unaided through virgin forests in hope of new discoveries in ideas and methods, seeking to bring together, if possible. A happy combination of the social and poetic side of life, intermingled and blended with the prosaic conditions of commercialism and wealth into a happy union, a crystalized charm of entertaining reflection and study, as well as a peerless and most powerful advertising medium. During the compilation and in the preparatory stages of this work we. Have suffered and irreparable loss in the demise of Mr. Lee Peeler. The assistant general manager of this company and whose talent and genial com pany we have been deprived of. Mr. Peeler was among the first twenty-five students that matriculated at.
