EDITGRIAL SECTIO THINGS THAT COUNT N REVIEWING the great achievements of the world in structure, art, science or literature, why is it that we dwell longer on the work which at the start seemed impossible and during construction was hindered by obstacles which threatened at all times to prove disasterous? It is because we have great admiration for the work of the builder who met, fought and overcame adversity. The Atlantic cable, the Panama canal, the airplane, all stand as monuments of triumph for those who, undaunted kept on through trial and tribulation till the work was completed. A work accomplished through little effort is sweet for a time, but the value soon depreciates, while the result of a bitter struggle lives for ever. Little effort-little value. Men and women of every trade and walk of life can look back at something won only by sacrifice and hardship, yet it is sweeter to them to say: F or that did I fight, and that same did I win, than to lazily remark: That was a cinch, I got it without trying. Last year we celebrated the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. Their victory over tyranny and hardships is known by all and it is because they had such opposition hat we reverently remember them. Theirs is a triumph which will live forever, while at the time, when days were dark and hope grew dim they carried on and came through to build the foundation of American civilization. In the same sense as we enjoy a hard-fought football game rather than a walk- away, we respect the almost impossible. The Seniors of this January Class of '2l, are likened unto these victors over adversity. They have now a monument of triumph to look back on and say for this did I fight--and that same did I win. The monument?-This book. Anyone of the Seniors can tell you how their hopes of a class book, dear to the hearts of all graduates, were shattered when the question of finance was brought up. The class was small, the A. S. B. fund low and annuals run up to many hundreds of dollars. Plans whereby to raise money were presented, individual donations, appeals to the general fund and many other schemes all fell to the ground. Eight
