Dedication The Staff of the 1936 Carontawan dedicates its book to a marvelous example of altruism, so common that nobody wonders at it; to the acme of grit, the epitome of courage — Motherhood. To those who risk death by torture to carry on the torch of life, to the domestic women whose achievements nobody notes or remembers but God. We use this medium to place on her humble head the crown of a martyr and hope that it will go far in the annihilation of the title of forgotten women. Within this volume we celebrate the athlete, the scholar, the popular, the outstanding, tiie exotic children of this modern age and scroll their names immortally in ink on cherished pages, but we never think, as we look at their names and pictures, of the persons who hatched these capti- vating swans. It never occurs to us that it is the mothers who never had much schooling themselves who keep the college going. As we look at the children we never bother to picture the everyday, commonplace mothers who, quietly and inconspicuously, go about their daily routine, pinching, scrimping, saving, wearing last year ' s hats and basement bar- gains, spreading the butter a little thinner on the bread and buying stew meat instead of pot roast, so that Janie and Dick and Betty and Sam may have the advantages they themselves never had; determined that their children shall have the education that was denied them.
