Jmtowj In 1910 when the first B.Y.U. yearbook was proposed, Professor E. H. Eastmond submitted the name Banyan because it represented President Karl S. Maeser ' s idea that the Brigham Young Academy is the parent trunk of a great educational banyan tree. This banyan tree, found chiefly in India, sends down aerial roots from its branches, which, on be- coming rooted, act as props; the tree in this manner spreads over a great surface, often several acres, and is able to shelter thousands of men, and endure for many ages. So the Banyan yearbook symbolizes the great educational tree and the friendly spirit of the Y, which sends out its many roots into far-flung states and foreign lands, each root becoming a prop of friendship, inter-relation- ship and understanding. The alleqory might be carried further to symbolize the way in which your yearbook tries to cover, by word and picture, the activities in class and out of your college life. To bind together in per- petual bonds the friendships and associations which you have made at the B.Y.U. is our goal. If in spite of its many deficiencies, this book has in part realized this qoal, we shall feel that our efforts to create a lasting place for the 1941 Banyan in your memory have not been wasted.
