new Rhode Island Memorial Union: It is fitting that our yearbook should find its home in this splendid structure, the heart of campus life where the varied program of extracurricular activities comes to a focus. The Union is indeed a laboratory of democracy. Through the pages of the Grist will be a record of the democratic process at work in the various facets of university life — self-government marked by free speech in the Senate Chamber; free speech also over the radio station; a free press producing the Beacon and the Grist — freedom with responsibility on the part of the students, counseling and advice without censorship on the part of the faculty. These are the experiences and the kind of teamwork that are typical of the American democratic tradition. You members of the senior class have reason to be gratified that a long-time co-operative effort was climaxed in your senior year and you were privileged to enjoy the benefits resulting from an effort in which you have played an important part. We are sure that for years to come you will treas- ure the Grist as a record of your undergraduate days, and that it will serve as a lasting bond with your alma mater. With every good wish, CARL R. WOODWARD President
