Full credit for "The Freshman" story should go to Harold Lloyd and to the members of his very efficient staff: namely, Sam Taylor, Fred Newmeyer, John Grey, Ted Wilde, Tim Whelan and Clyde Bruckman. They originated the plot and developed it in its every detail. The undersigned author did not appear upon the scene until the great comedy motion picture, produced from their story, had been completed and shown. He then endeavored to translate the photoplay into book form, using the incidents of the story exactly as they occur upon the screen.
The undersigned freely acknowledges his indebtedness to Mr. Lloyd and his famous staff as the real authors of "The Freshman." He is likewise grateful to the Harold Lloyd Corporation for permission to novelize the picture.
