DAYS OF OUR YEAR We have indicated that the leading purpose of this volume is to broaden the scope of the college year- book. In accord with this purpose, the Editor has devoted a fifth of the 1941 COLORADAN to a picture and word portrayal of the Days of Our Year. Yearbooks are produced for student readers; their treatment of subject matter is determined by stu- dent wants and interests. Recognizing this fact, we have included no detailed material on the organiza- tion of the University: the Semester Catalogue will suffice. None will turn to the 1941 COLORADAN to discover what is taught in the University of Colorado, but some may seek to discover here the student way of life at Colorado in 1941. We earn- estly believe, as we stated in the Introduction, that this life is significant beyond its restricted grounds, that its portrayal has a permanent and sustained interest. Thus, while we have avoided any formal- ization of subject matter, we have at the same time attempted to create something more than the tem- porary appeal of familiar student names and faces. On this basis the Snapshot section in THE COLORADAN of the past ten years has been dis- continued as inadequate. It is the editor ' s hope that the Days of Our Year will be a new creation rather than a substitute. The arrangement of the section is direct and simple. In chronological order the most important events of the past nine months have been depicted. The accompanying text, com- prising some seven thousand words, is intended to explain the various elements which characterize university life. Credit for Days of Our Year must go to numerous staff members and advisors. Chief among these are Misses Maryanna Quaintance and Catherine Pres- ton, and Messrs. Everett Sears, David Proffitt, and Reed Johnson. Responsibility for any comments in the text is taken by the editor, who has revised the original. WILLIAM ILIYA JOVANOVICH, Editor.

In the last weeks of September over four thousand people drove, walked, and hitch-hiked their way up University Hill, signalizing the opening of another nine-month year at Colorado University. In the Dorms, in Creek houses, and in scores of boarding houses, they shook hands, talked about Califor- nia and Iowa, and loosened up to that old familiar business about, Remember last winter when . . . Among the indomitable 4,000 seeking education and otherwise in the state ' s biggest institution were 962 new faces, according to a ten- page edition of Colorado ' s bi- weekly, THE SILVER AND COLD. More important news on the open- ing of school was the announce- ment by President Stearns that Colorado was making plans to pre- pare over a thousand men for the national defense program.
