Foreword For a long time now, a yearbook, like a degree or a cap and gown or a key or a ring, has been one of the manifest symbols of graduation from college. It is generally felt that college years are memorable and important years, and ought to be recorded in bound and illustrated editions replete with pictures and comments, and this feeling has persisted through time so that yearbooks have become a tangible tradition of college. Almost as if people, realizing the corroding effects of time upon all things, have wanted to galvanize their memories with words and pictures-a yearbook has come to be an invaluable mnemonic, a sentimental bulwark against age and transition. Yet this simplicity of purpose belies the difficulties inherent in any attempt to give definition to that which has come to pass. A college year resists being cast into neat sentences. It is a tenuous, important thing-an emotional quantity in the life of every member of the community. A college year is eight months of doing and thinking and growing for each individual involved. That which the undergraduate and graduate shall remember ofa year in college, that which they shall consider meaningful, shall be deter- mined by uniquely personal criteria. The editors of this volume have realized these things and rather than attempting to measure this most recent year at Amherst in its true perspective from the dubious vantage of May, have merely tried to describe objectively the current facets of an Amherst education-in words and pictures to delineate the events of 1954-55 which undoubtedly shall have left their imprints upon the individual and his College. This evidence shall follow, and we can only be mindful of the fact that each shall give it meaning and interpretation as befits his peculiar context. '
