Nor does a yearbook cover the year. Generally, a yearbook is usually concerned with only the nine months of the academic year. This yearbook attempts to do at least two things: (1) It attempts to cover the academic year 1961-1962, without discussing grades , “ideas” or courses of study in detail, and (2) give the reader something of the flavor of some of the forty-nine Meleteans that came before it.

This is, finally, the 1962 Meletean, the fiftieth consecutive publication of the book whose Latin name means “Badger. and whose emblem more likely than not, is a Falcon. If this seems strange it should be noted that yearbooks themselves are odd publications. They are neither fur nor feather, not fish, not fin. They rarely carry the information of a bound volume of the year's student newspapers; they at the same time are not the pure pieces of nostalgia of, say. a high school prom program. If yearbooks purport to be records of the academic year they certainly are most shallow ones. When have you seen a college yearbook that published the student's grades alongside his picture and hometown?
