FOREWORD ---IKE a fragrant rose on its slender stem, redolent of the dawns and dusks of a delectable June, are the clustered memories, folded tenderly one upon another, of your golden days in college. As the rose has its supreme moment of beauty, breaking gently from bud to bloom,so in the succession of these happy years there may have been some occasion, momentous for joy cr exaltation, rapture or despair, that determined the tone and fibre of your subsequent life. The pages of this book, reviewing the pageant of events for the year just closed, may recall for you, like a fleeting fragrance or a treasured souvenir, those moments of transcendent charm. If the reveries arising as you turn these pages are reminiscent of occasions that left their vivid imprint on your mind the cheering multitude in the stadium as an Orange warrior broke loose for the winning score,-the sparkling company in the evening glamor of the Memorial Union lounge or ball room,- the whispered confidences of shy endearment under an October moon,- the outpoured fellowship of singing comrades round the banquet board or the hearthfire of the “house,” the thrill of silent awe as a gorgeous sunset overflowed the purple shadows of the Coast range and glinted the domes and spires of the quiescent campus on the hill,- the mood of reverence and patriotic pride, as the regimental standards pass proudly in review and the national colors tug bravely at their staff if a 1934 Beaver recalls this to you, with a sudden uplift that leaves you wavering between smiles and tears, our mission and our hope will be fulfilled.
