PATRICI A SPIiA R MAN Editor IN APPRECIATION It appears necessary by common custom to pause at this particular time to expound on the virtues of the staff, all outsiders who have given helpful suggestions, good, bad. or indifferent, and elaborate on the fine new ideas and original inserts. But I feel that it is more fitting to admit that the majority of the original ideas have been used at least one hundred times over and that all minor suggestions were listened to but never heard. But with all kidding aside, I wish all who read and reminisce, at least a few good chuckles where our hard thought-of humor appears and pleasant memory of old ac- quaintances as their faces appear. My staff of workers haven't worked any harder than those on the staffs of former years and have had able assistants in the efforts of Marcus Stubbs, Mac Glasgow, Mary Davidson, Sarah McCarlcy, Thayer Barnhart, John Gamble, Darby Fulton, and W att Smith, all of whom have shown their best color and have proven themselves the best to me. I o all professors and Alumni that I have worked with I extend grateful appreciation for all of their help and encouragement that they have unselfishly given to me as aid in making the 1937 Commodore of anderbilt University, Nashville, Tennes- see, a great success. The Editor.
