ci message from the president 'T , A ,, One of the greatest sources of pride for any institution of higher learning is the accomplishments of its students. ln such accomplishments are demonstrated the traits of initiative, industry and creative talent, indicative of success. It is the constant effort of dedicated faculty members to guide the student toward accomplishment, to challenge him to creative thinking and to encourage in him the desire and ambition to achieve. The acceptance of that challenge is a ioy to the teacher and is its own reward to the student. There are many evidences of student achievement during the 80-year history of the Ohio State University. Otherwise the efforts of those of us who through the years have tried to maintain that high level of educational opportunity would have been in vain. One evidence of student achievement over many years has been the high standard represented by the Makio. Here in one magnificent volume, truly repre- sentative of one of the nation's largest institutions of higher learning, are repre- sented the creative imagination and the effort of many students. For the Class of '54, the Makio staff has endeavored to portray the year as in a magic mirror. They have interpreted it with pictures and stories. I share with this year's graduating class their pride in their yearbook-truly a tribute to student accomplishment. HOWARD L. BEVIS President I9
