Description: THE NORMAL ADVANCE95features of an annual. But the size and quality of the book has been kept down by the low7price of subscription, which gave to each regular subscriber to The Advance a free copy, andit can no longer fulfill its mission as it should.AVhile the school has been growing by leapsand bounds the paper has been kept from expanding. The time has come to take definiteaction, and this is the move we shall make.In June of this year, the first College Annualever published by the State Normal School willappear. It will be attractively and durablybound, and engraved in the Normal colors, andthe price will be scarcely enough to pay thecost of binding alone, which should not exceedone dollar per copy. To our regular subscribers, w7ho wish the bound volume instead of theregular commencement number, we will deductthe usual price of the Commencement number(35c.) Other schools publish and sell a bookof the same style and quality or less for. from$2.00 to $3.00 each!AVhy should you boost it along ? Stop, look,LISTEN! Your school pride demands it. I.S. N. S. is the only school of advanced learningin the State, with but one or two exceptions,which does not publish an annual. IndianaUniversity publishes one and has done so formany years, DePauw University publishes oneand has done so for many years, Wabash College has published an annual for many years,Rose Polytechnic has been publishing one eversince you and I first started to school, and C.N. C. at Danville is out boosting a like enterprise this year. Shall our great school, whichin a years time enrolls two or three thousanddifferent students, be one w7hit behind our sisterinstitutions, many of which are very muchsmaller than we?How can you boost it along? Show yourpride in your school. Be loyal! Subscribe forthe book, and tell your neighbor to subscribe.The price is very low w7hen compared to theenjoyment you will get from the book in lateryears. And you will have a feeling that youhave aided a worthy undertaking.AVe wish to urge the students, alumni, andmembers of the faculty to aid us by contributions. Others, like yourselves, are anxious tolearn the whereabouts and doings of theirfriends, and the paper w7ill be benefited verymuch by your help.For we know not every morrowCan be sad
So, forgetting all the sorrowWe have had,Let us fold away our fears,And put by our foolish tears,And through all the coming years,Just be glad.-Riley.
