L ■ PREFACE 51011 f TO I he royal line of I hi again must In. bequeathed the distinguished achieve- ment of producing an all-L-niversity Year I look. Not since 1923, when this noble line of Phi published the PAW”, had a first class annual been at- tempted until the sons of 1931, surmounting tremendous financial difficulties occa- sioned by the depths of depression brought out the first I JON”. Three classes have come and gone since that time and none has had either the initiative or the courage to tackle so huge a task. The men of “thirty-live”, known hereafter as I»AM accepted this, not only as their need, but also their duty. Consider this annual, then, as a record in pictures of the history and achieve- ments of a class, and the aid tendered that class by those men of the three classes under them. To those of us who res| ondcd to the lessons of knowledge four years ago. and who now willingly accept the challenge of the vicissitudes of life are due the wreath and glory and honor hard won; such as the high honors in scholar- ship, the establishment of Phi Kappa Kpsilon I lonorary Society; the revival of the N.A.A.C.P.. and the motivation of that organization into a powerful race-conscious group, the first major Inter-Collegiate Inter-racial conference held on a Negro college campus and many other accomplishments to be found elsewhere in the pages of this book. No more fitting quotation can l»e found other than this paragraph found in the “PAW” of 1923: “Virile as the stalwart maples that grace our campus, strong as the stones made sacred by tradition ; with minds trained as we sat under learned masters; with hearts attuned to the problems, injustices and sufferings of an imperfect humanity; effervescing with the youthful joy and enthusiasm of living respon- sive to a seriousness of purpose we go. I Iappiest of all days have been those in which we lingered midst the scenes and inllucnccs of the Lincoln spirit. The association with school mates, faculty and alumni will forever linger in the garden of memories. Now that our journey here is finished, we set forth the results of the glorious class in this book.” 3 AM
