2)eJl til cci LI on F ()R ' r EIGHT years ago a small s roiip of students published the first Aurora. Lead- ing that group in a new enterprise was a young man whose name is familiar to e ery student, past or present, Avho has attended Michigan .State Normal College. He is one of the many students vho came back to their alma mater to ser e her. He ends his acti e ser ice as a frieml and teacher with his retirement this year. It is only fitting that we of the college should recognize his contriljiuion to the college. His contribu- tion has been made cjuietly but steadily; he has not tried to gain glory for his name, but lor psi. It is vith lo e and ailmiralion and with great appreciation that ' ive dedicate the 1940 Aurora to J. Stuart Lathers.

That Avhich is symbolic ol man ' s strength, his am- bitions, his progress has been expressed through the broadening program ol ' expansion serving to make the college more Iniiihd in its offerings. Unhappily, in contrast, ihe year has seen noble characters, so long a living part ol the coll ege as we know and lo e it, pass on and recede into its background. Rut they .ser e now to eitrich its history, ami leaxe upon it iore er the stamp of linest scholarship, highest character, and loftiest idealism.
