For San Jose State, this past academic year was ChrOHO' logically significant. Since the conception of the college, the wheel of time has completed a full circle; one hundred years of existence was climaxed with the Centennial celebration of last year. But a spirit was born from the centennial festie vities . . . a spirit intangible at first, yet one that was nur- tured in the realization that this college refused to remain within its designated boundaries. The tireless work of the ad- ministrators and educators found undeniable recognition. A vast building program gave impetus to the spirit of pride, of growth, and of progress. The student body, despite the high academic requirements, has grown to proportions rivaling the largest universities. What was once a physically small teachers' college of high standards and ideals is now one of America's largest institu- tions. Yet this growth was accomplished without sacrifice of quality or ideal. We of La Torre wanted to capture the essence of this progressive spirit. It was a profound challenge to envision this abstract spirit of educational growth and expansion. It was a greater challenge to transfer it to the printed page. The editors felt that the panorama of a growing college needed the finest literary tools; the drama, a certain artistry in this pageant led to the ultimate choice. We have chosen to adopt and attempt to faithfully maintain the theme of a dramatic presentation. The pageantry of a hundred years is epitomized in the feeling that this year is more significant than its predecessor because it is the first year in a new cycle of growth. This book is a play: its actors all the many men and women who have emerged from its pages to act their part . . . often competently, sometimes brilliantly. The time element knows only the restriction of a century of history, its future is limitless. The story is ours, just as it was the story of San Jose State students and educators ten decades ago, and as it will be the story of generations to come. But the intention of this play is to allow this lone year to sym- bolize the many years before it and the rich, productive years to come.
