We of the class of '51 have seen many changes in the physical appearance of the campus in our four years here at Amherst. We have watched the verbal attack on the older idea ot a liberal arts education put into action in the form of the New Curriculum and are the first class to benefit by that renovation. We have witnessed changes in a hundred incidentals, and when we have added up and obtained the sum total of these variations, we say Amherst has progressed. Underneath the level of tangible changes, with which the theme of this book is concerned, lies the heritage to which all Amherst men are heirs. I. S. Hamilton wrote that Amherst turns out a man if there's man stutt inside, and it is in this second level that the tradition to which we have been exposed operates. Wherever something has remained constant here at Amherst, we say that it is part ot our tradition. And whenever we alter a building or system we do it for the sake ot progress. Wherever the tradition was in a physical form that could be changed, progress has demanded that it be changed to keep abreast of the times. Because of this, tradition has retired from the tangible world to take up a position in the Amherst mind where it is safe from attack and where it can do its best work. At Amherst in the past four years there has been a drastic enough improve- ment of the students' academic, extra-curricular, and social lite that we feel the 1951 OLIO ought to concern itself with progress. We acknowledge with thanks the help of Miss Rena M. Durkan, Mr. Horace W. Hewlett, Mr. N. A. Ickes and the others who have helped so much with the book.
