Excerpt from The Golden Jubilee of Syracuse University, 1870-1920 It was suggested that the book be Of an illustrative character, portraying the many fine buildings of the institution and covering, Of course, the historical and anniversary material, including addresses, etc., but that suggestion was not ap proved for several reasons. In the first place, we have a fine Bulletin, just issued, giving views Of all the University buildings. Why repeat them in this? Again, we proposed a small and simple volume, setting forth in historic form the facts and events of the Jubilee.

It is to be regretted that in the absence of manuscripts for some of the addresses provision was not made to get full and complete stenographic reports of the ad dresses. TO some extent, this course was followed, but not with entire satisfaction.

We have reproduced several of the views printed on the occasion by the three Syracuse newspapers, the post-standard, the Herald and the journal, and we wish here to acknowledge our indebtedness to the managers and employes of all these fine papers for the exceeding kindness and courtesy shown by them in furnishing every possible facility for reproducing in book form the material taken from their various issues.
