FGREWORD Men may come and men may go But I go on forever. Thus mused the Poet of the brook. And as it is with the current of the brook so it is with the inliuence 'oi a college. That intangible, that indeiinable spirit always lives, always goes on. Though generations come and go, and though each takes with it into the world a part of her spirit, still lives the college. And though her walls perish by fire and she, Phoenix-like, rise from the ashes, resplendent in her glory, yet is she the same old college. Though the halo of memories thicken and though tradition clamber over the walls, with the ivy, still the same old spirit lives on. Neither opposition, nor adversity, nor devastation, nor good fortune, nor prosperity, nor success can overcome her, for in the hearts, in the souls, of her children the same old college lives on forever. mln the full vigor of her prime, our Alma Mater is about to say farewell to her thirty-fifth graduating class. What honorable classes they have been! How strenuous those living years! Conceived in those troublous times following our great Civil War she has struggled with heroic perseverance. And, risen supremely above the sea of troubles, she now rests serenely on the swell of the rising wave, in this, her thirty-sixth year. mit has been our purpose to make this volume a record, for that year, 19056, of the important happenings and organizations of the University of Wooster. We have seasoned the record with nonsense to make it readable. flll,The years at college are among the best, and it is right that they should be Page sixteen

Let it sutlice to say that after conscientious consideration and profound meditation it seemed good to the Board of Editors to have the book exe- cuted in the manner which the reader now beholds. lliflihe publication of this book was made possible by the remarkable business acumen and patient persistence of the Business Manager and his Assistant, the prompt and care- ful work of the' Art Editor, the lively and painstaking interest of the Associate Editors, and the hearty co-opera- tion ol the student body. We desire to express our grati- tude to all those who have assisted us in any way. To make personal mention of all such, would almost necessitate the printing of the college roster. But we wish especially to thank the Patron Saint of the INDEX, Dr. Bennett, also our warm friends, Ray Irvin and W. A. D. And we shall be forever indebted to lVlr. S. H.
