We sing thus together, Our hearts all in tune Just as the beauty of a song depends not so much upon the individual notes as upon the melody they produce, so college life is more than a personal experience. The song is formed by all the students; the presence or absence of melody depends upon the contribution of each. A combination of tones is needed to give us harmony. The tones are but contributing material; they must be systematically arranged to provide music, for sound without organiza- tion is mere noise. College life is a brief movement in the greater symphony of life: just four years, and then the opportunity is gone forever. The notes scatter and go their separate ways. The song passes, to be revived and revised by the next generation. A song must be sung or played to reveal its true value; notes on a page have little real meaning. We have tried to capture the song of MacMurray in prose and in pictures for your record. We realize that our score can never truly depict the experiences of college days. We offer this book only to refresh your memory when the melody begins to fade. But the song must always be sung by you — the students. So let the yellow stand for friendship true
