We have endeavored to select pictures and facts which will stimulate memories of 6'Pride in achievement that is fair, and highrregard for what is clean. The thought carried in the line Wfhe strength that is in brotherhood is portrayed in our volume through the treatment by groups, it is not the purpose to make any in- dividual or any organization stand out in an unproportional degree, but to represent the existing bond of brotherhood by the group presentation. The courage that pro- claims successi' is a basic point in the Culver code, inasmuch as endeavor, of which Culver life principally consists, is chiefly composed of courageous striving, concen- tration, and competition in the quest of success. What is sometimes lacking in the rush for success is uThe will to strive for what is good, and what we proffer is a volume of truth, a record containing no malice, no intentional misrepresentation or omission. And, first and always, manlinessi' is symbolized by our endeavor to pre- sent in a symmetrical book, full, complete, well-rounded-in just the light we see manliness-the strength and beauty of Culver.

Dllilllllor Faculty Advisor Business Manager 1929 ROLL CALL We hereby offer the 1929 Roll Call to the cadets, alumni, and friends of Culver Military Academy for their approval. As the twenty-fifth annual published by a gradu- ating class, this volume marks a significant phase in the history of yearbooks at Culver. It has been the desire and purpose of the staff to make the 1929 Roll Call parallel in distinctiveness, quality, and improvement the changes which have taken place in the academy. These changes so distinguish the 1928-29 school year as having reached a height heretofore unattained that the record of this year, as compared to that of other years, must be an accented departure. By so having in mind the essential parts of a Culver yearbook, we have been guided in the construction of the most symmetrical, most artistic, most complete, most authentic, and most Culver-like Roll Call which we are capable of producing. In attempting to present a Culver-like Roll Call, we have tried to exemplify in its pages the truths expressed by S. E. Kiser in his eight poetic lines which constitute The Spirit of Culver. From the line '4The hope to win, the zeal to dare, we have obtained the desire to present something vivid, enlivening, and different from what has preceded us in Culver annual volumes, and we have most energetically dared innovai , 7--- R.

There are at present nine thousand volumes in the two divisions. New books along different lines of interest are constantly being added, as the generous library budget makes possible the purchase not only of the best Of mod- ern literature, but also duplicate as well as dif- ferent editions of the standard and most read authors. Hence the supply of books is adequate and up-to-date for use in the preparation of papers and reports and for reading of general interest. MAJOR M. V.

For ready reference the Americana,,' the '6New Internationalf, and the En- cyclopaedia Britannican furnish the material. Helpful and suggestive information for a trip to any quarter of the globe may be obtained from the travel and description section. On the magazine shelves are to be found periodicals of current and scientific interest which together with a number of daily newspapers help the cadet to keep abreast with the times. In the center aisle of the south wing there are two glass cases in which are to be found the original manuscript of uAlice of Old Vincennesf' a copy of the fig-St editigns of Dr. Johnsonis English dictionary, published in 1755, and of Boswell s Life of Johnsonf, published in 1791, which have been presented to the library.
