Foreword THE comings and goings of this year leave many footprints on the walks of college life. Some lead Here, some lead There some lead Anywhere. We of the Ravelings staff have sought to disentangle the mysteries oi these impressions and to hand our conclu- sions tu those who follow. Such measure of success as our efforts may have is to be attributed to the cooperation. interest, and work of the entire stall. We are not forgetful of the good will and loyalty of the students who have assisted us. We hope the readers will find enjoyment in these pages. It may serve to bring together the many pieces of the college year. It Iris been a joy to complete the design i the year [934-35 and to hand it d iwn tn posterity. Laboratory

Dedication to Dr. Garrett W. Thiessen Whose personal interest in us has nourished the spark of genuine friendship ; Whose unfailing sympathy and infinite patience have lent our hearts encouragement. Whose uncommon fairness has mingled our contact with him with the spirit of square-dealing ; Whose certain judgment and analytical understanding have made our council with him a source of constant satisfaction ; Whose intellectual precision has modelled for us an ideal, and Whose brilliant talents and devotion to duty are to win his college renown and afford to science and the world at large a blessing in achievement, — We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-six do bow and dedicate this volume.

Classroom Foreword AS ONE follows these footprints, he is led through all parts of the campus — class- rooms, laboratories, library, chapel, con- servatory, gymnasium, dormitories, and all the various organizations and activities that make up a college year. As other generations of students have left their imprints behind, so we hope future generations may find the traces of our footprints on the campus. Footprints of all shapes and sizes are to be found — deep traces of the faculty ' s heavy tread, solitary steps of leaders, long strides of warriors, prints of Big Shots, followed by many smaller tracks. Trails of some lead only to and fro from classroom to study room; they leave a hidden, straight, well-worn path that others will find and some will follow in vears to come.
