FOREWORD You have before you, dear reader, this volume of the 1935 Aurora. Within it you will find a number of facts set forth as a record of this school year. You will find pictures of students and of buildings, dates of entrance and of graduation, stories of great events and of small. In short there is in this annual whatever you can get out of it. Some of you will see only the pictures and the printed pages — other more fortunate ones will recall almost forgotten events — chapels, dates, parties, and classes. To this last group this book is of value. Through its pages you can be again in the midst of a warm discussion in Philosophy, or seated once more at table number five. With this book as a guide you may live over again the school year •34- ' 35. During the past year Olivet College has undergone a great change. The buildings have been repaired and improved, the faculty has been increased — the school has advanced. New faces fill prominent places in the activities of the College. Life in Olivet has become more complex and more interesting. All this has made the work of the Staff more difficult. It is for them to select the interesting from the uninteresting, the important from the unim- portant. This they have done to the best of their ability. We have tried to present a faithful picture of Olivet College. We could have blown up the pictures and taken unusual shots of the buildings, and by the use of beautiful phrases and (more) bombast we could have touched up the place. But that would not have been your school. We have en- deavored to picture it as it is, and if it seems small or dull, remember that it is still your school. If the sight off Milburn Westmoreland doing the pole vault brings to your mind a mental picture of a warm, sunshiny track day in May, our purpose will have been realized. The first part of the book is filled with pictures of the various classes of the school, of the faculty, and of the buildings. Here you will find your roommate, teachers, and your friends. These are the usual components of an annual. We had to put these in. Another division of this book, called Activities, attempts to portray through picture and print the many phases of activities in Olivet College. Here you will find three literary societies still fighting over the cup. l ' n a f four
