There have been sTuolenT organizaTions since The earliesT days oT The college. Probably The TirsT organizaTion oT imporTance was The Allenian SocieTy, an acTive group unTil recenTly. All early socieTies were educaTional and culTural, buT as years passed They expanded To include social purposes. In l922, several oT The Temale socieTies Tormed an inTer-socieTy council, now Panhellenic, and in l935, The men Tollowed suiT wiTh an inTer-TraTerniTy council. All groups aT San Jose STaTe were local unTil l939, when Alpha Phi Omega, naTional service TraTerniTy, became The TirsT naTional Greek leTTer TraTerniTy, and in i947 The TirsT social TraTerniTy aTTiaTed naTionally wiTh Sigma Alpha Epsilon. By I948, nearly all social groups had aTFiliaTed wiTh The naTional groups. lndependenT organizaTions on This campus also have grown unTil There are more Than one hundred and ThirTy groups in all Tields oT college life. Possibly The independenT groups have noT received The publiciTy aTTorded The social groups because They have noT combined Torces To Torm a co-operaTive council, as The social groups have done. l-lowever, The independenT organizaTions represenT Tar more varied Tields oT inTeresTs. We have now venTured Through a small segmenT OT San Jose STaTe hisTory. The highlighTs oT one hundred years as seen Through expansion oT The college physical planT, iTs academic sTanding, sTudenT governmenT, publicaTions, and organizaTions. Each has played iTs parT in pioneering educaTional sTandards in our sTaTe and in helping our cenTennial herald a signiTicanT milesTone in CaliTornia educaTional developmenT. We look Torward To The TuTure. We pray ThaT Those oT The year 2057 will look back upon The second cenTury wiTh The same pride ThaT we review The TirsT. To paraphrase a speech once made in a high school radio play: The birTh of a College is noT an easy maTTer. IT is full of blood, sweaT and Tears. BuT if ThaT College is To survive iT musT have men oT greaT ideals-men who will see Through The conTlicTs of Today To The beTTer world oT Tomorrow. Morris Elmer Daily, Charles Allen and Thomas W. MacQuarrie were some of Those men, and The beTTer Tomorrow They visioned is whaT our greaT College is Today. Now we musT have men of greaT ideals. We musT see Through hysTeria, confusion and Tear, and plan and work Tor Tomorrow's sons and daughTers To say wiTh The same Tevor we declare Today-Long live SparTa!
