V E T T E R R O P I ' A Wesleyan annual first made an appearance in 1899 in the form of a small cloth hound book called the ‘Adelphean’. This was published by the Adel- phean Society, fore-runner of Alpha Delta Pi So¬ rority, and was limited in its picture content. The effort of the class of 99 was followed six years later by the publication of an edition known as the ‘Zig-Zag also containing drawings and pic¬ tures. The following year there appeared an annual much like ours of today in content, beautifully bound in purple suede. There was found on the cover of 1913 s annual the mysterious name ‘Klu-Klux.’ but this was sen¬ sibly supplanted a few years later by the current title. ‘Veterropt’ was born by a combination of the Latin words vertimus and optimus, meaning oldest and best—an apt name for the publication which brings to its readers a panorama of Wesleyan. Since 1928 the annual has been two pictures— the Fine and Liberal Arts Colleges being represented in separate sections. The 1934 annual has become once more a unit, and the combination of the two colleges has enlarged the scene and increased the scope of the publication. Typist —Jeanne Reid; Photography Editor .
