DEDICATION.

"To the newest born of the Sisters,
At the end of the race's march,
In her quaint, old Spanish garment,
Pillar and tile and arch;
Awaiting the age that hallows,
Her face to the coming morn—
Whose scholars still walk in her cloisters,
Whose martyrs are yet unborn."

"We scatter down the four wide ways,
Clasp hands and part, but keep
The power of the golden days
To lull our care asleep,
And dream, while our new years we fill
With sweetness from those four,
That we are known and loved there still,
Though we come back no more."

PREFATORY NOTE.

These are stories of the University as it was before the era of newbuildings. While the attempt has been made to create, in character,incident and atmosphere, a picture of Stanford life, the stories, asstories, are fiction, with the exception of "Pocahontas, Freshman," and"Boggs' Election Feed," which were suggested by local occurrences, and"One Commencement," which is mainly fact. The original draft of "HisUncle's Will" was printed in The Sequoia with the title "The Fate ofFreshman Hatch."

It may be necessary to add that, in the endeavor to present the actuallife of the University, it has seemed quite inadvisable to edit theconversation of the characters from the standpoint of the Englishpurist. Since, however, those readers who boggle over slang could hardlybe much interested in the Undergraduate, it is sufficient merely to callattention to the point.
