The 1947-48 schoolyear has been carried swiftly along on the restless breast of the tide of time flowing steadily in the wide and deep expanse between the unmeasured banks of the eternal river. Seeking to capture in these pages some notion of the subtlety of Change, the itinerant artist of the pulsing time-river, we have tried to catch his brush at work, touching the year drifting on the moving stream of time and coloring it with the confusion, the inertio, the pain, the pleasure, the passion, and the glowing hope of our youth. The year, wearied with its minute-measured journeying, slides silently into the great mouth of the mighty river through which it will at the last be swept into the forever- gone swell of the lost, limitless sea of remembrances beyond. Given a moment to sum the total of those images of the year scattered two-dimensional ly through these pages, we see clearly the tidemorks of change left on the campus by the alternating ebbs and floods of the restless river of eternal time. We are mode instantly aware of the loss of faces grown familiar to us in our doily contact with the administration, the faculty, the staff, and — more rarely — with the College Trustees. But in remembering these departed ones we see an array of new faces, many of them, and we see Change has compensated for his taking away of old friends by adding to our happy measure of new friendships.
