YEARBOOK STAFF The Boll Weevil, unquestion- ably the oldest consistent pub- lication of this institution, has as it’s goal the conveyance of the essence of each year at UAM to its students. Since its first issue in 1925, quality pho- tography and writing by UAM students have served to pro- vide the study body as a whole with a vividly artistic rendition of the facets of life on our cam- pus. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Boll Weevil. It is, in itself, a symbol of UAM’s past, as firmly rooted in tradi- tion as the big oak, and prob- ably requiring as much com- bined work as the construction of Weevil Pond.
