VORD VfEARS ago dark skulking ships hunted the seas and -■- spread terror from shore to shore. Captain Kidd and many others plundered, murdered, and destroyed — all for riches which after they had secured, they buried. To us, living in an advanced civilisation, all this seems mythical, unreal and quite incomprehensible. Yet men of today are unconsciously following in Cap- tain Kidd ' s footsteps. They plunder, murder and spread terror — all in pursuit of the riches which they seldom use. Throughout the college year we too gather our treasure, plunder for our joys, work for our honors — only to bury them and forget as time passes. We, as editors of this yearbook, feel that if we can gather together a store of these joys, events and hon- ors into a treasure chest -which our fellow men and women can carry away with them throughout their lives and leave behind them as a monument — then we have amassed a treasure far greater than that of the famed Captain Kidd. To each Syracusan we want this book to prove a treasure chest — not to buy, bury on a bookshelf and forget — but to keep year after year, to return to and see each priceless jewel — a year of happiness, friend- ship and memories.

V N DEDICATK T rT HERE can be no greater responsibility than that - - placed upon the hands that guide young men and women through the formative years of life. On these hands must fall the burden of making the future America. The results of their labors will go out into the world — in the office — in the court room — in the pulpit — in the class room — in the home — in fact, into every walk of life. Throughout the world will be scattered the fruits from the seeds planted by them. When it is known that this responsibility has been borne conscientiously, earnestly, and with gratifying results — how meager seems the greatest praise! As just a reminder of the confidence we place in their in tegrity, as well as the appreciation we feel of their ef- forts, let it be known that with the greatest pride a: pleasure, we dedicate this — the fbrty-fiftliVo. The Onondagan to The Faculty of Syracuse University — the moulders of our destiny. May this book ever serve as a reminder to them of pleasant associations and everlasting gratitude. dt
