PRESIDENT ROBERT G. SPROUL AS THE YEARS go on and the memories be- gin to lose in detail, this book will be a treas- ure house to which members of the Class of 1938 may turn for the personal touches that give meaning to the timeworn but ageless phrase : We were in college together. There was a time in the history of American universities when every graduate knew his fel- lows long before Commencement Day arrived. But universities have grown, California among them, until knowing one ' s classmates has become a lifelong process. In out of the way places and at unexpected moments you will find the road paved to pleasant acquaint- ances and, perhaps, lasting friendship by the phrase U. C., 1938. The farther you travel the stronger this bond will prove to be, for it is difficult to find a corner of the earth which some Californian has not already reached. This fraternal tie between aluimii of a uni- versity is not just a bit of sentimentality. Fundamentally it is built upon the assump- tion that a university imparts habits of thought, and ideals respecting truth and intel- lectual honesty, and that there is thus devel- oped among its graduates a kinship in social understanding. The continuing and deepen- ing strength of that kinship in later years de- pends upon how sincerely and genuinely the individual has been imbued with these char- acteristics. Simple membership in the Class of 1938 will bring one a greeting and a friendly handshake from classmates wherever they may be encountered; sentiment will as- sure that. But realization of the ricli potenti- alities of such a fellowship depends upon your ability and your conscious purpose to exem- plify in your own life the ideals upon which that fellowship rests.
