OF DENISON UNIVERSITY 5 



In the preparation of this volume our obhgation is expressed to 

 President D. B. Purinton ; Professor W. H. Johnson, of the department 

 of Latin ; Professor A. D. Cole, of the department of Physics and Chem- 

 istry ; Professor C. Judson Herrick, of the department of Biology; 

 and Mr. B. F. McCann, of Dayton, O., for various portions of the 

 historical, biographical, and descriptive text. Credit is given in the 

 text for articles cjuoted. Also to Professor \V. H. Boughton, of the 

 department of Mathematics and P^ngineering, for the drawings of the 

 floor plans of Memorial Hall; to Mr. L. I. Thayer, a student in 

 photography in the department, for most of the photographs of the in- 

 teriors of Memorial Hall ; to Mis. Piurton Huson for the loan of 

 Professor L. E. Hick's picture from which the cut was made, and to 

 the Board of Trustees for the special appropriation for the expense of 

 publication. 



The cuts for the illustrations were all made by the h^ditor, in the 

 department of Photography and Engraving, and should they not come 

 up to the standard of such work it is hoped the deficiency will be par- 

 doned from the fact that they are the work of an amateur and furnished 

 the Editor's recreation during their preparation.
