To catch an eventful year in the lives of so many people is difficult, but we have tried to capture for you this eightieth year. There has been a new type of thinking among students new in that it transcended the bounds of campus or nation and jumped to a world-wide conscious- ness. The campus became internationally-minded, perhaps because it was an election year, but more likely because the impact of education was being felt. Diverging in many ideas, we agreed that there was need for progress, for preservation of ideas, and, most of all, for peace. That is the spirit which permeated our campus, a spirit which will exist as long as education encourages it. Here is your year on campus familiar faces, beloved spots, most of all, the cultivation of ideas and of lasting friendships. If this Blue and Cold reminds you of this year, if future years find you referring back to it and smiling, then our task has been worthwhile.
