RQIZKCIZUH 0 S . . ., The State University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, in one thousand nine hundred and forty-eight, Anno Dominigfor most of you that time and place will take on significance. In- evitably, certain memories, certain sensations and emotions will become synonymous with that year, that place. Perhaps 1948 will count as a milestone in your life-or it may simply recall the nightmare that was your first speech in comm. skills. For some of you the university will always mean the excitement of new worlds to conquer. For others, it has been the focal point of that desire to know. What do you remember? A basketball game? A sentence from a final lecture? People? Saturday afternoons at Don's? Maybe for you Iowa is all of those things gfor you learned that knowledge, and truth, and even wisdom, pop up at the darndest times and in the darndest places. You see, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether you drove a red convertible to class, or walked a mile to see a play: it doesn't matter that you lived in a trailer and the fellow sitting next to you in History of Ideas roomed at the Quad. The physical aspects don't matterAbecause you shared an experi- ence. and yet that experience was. in another way, just your own and no one else's. That's why this book, the I-IAWKEYE of 1948, is only an image of the State University of Iowa with its 10,000 students and 400-some acres of campus. If you are one of the lucky ones, you have felt the heartbeat of the real university: you know its prejudices and ideals, the direction of its pattern. You realize that beneath the surface of routine and red tape and protocol, lies greatness. But, as we said, this book can show only that surface, only the image. It cannot reproduce, it can only reflect your univer- sity, for even though your life here forms a part of the image, yet the reality is deep within each of you. So all we can hope is that in looking through the 1948 HAWKEYE, you will feel the urge to reach back and beyond the reflection to touch that reality-the reality that is the University of Iowa.
