Its history has developed in harmony with the material and spiritual objectives that were in the minds of those who established the school. A knowledge of this development has been one of the most valued possessions of many Seminary students, the source of their first understanding of the significance of the school and of their lasting affection for it. Tlie C las.s ol l J ' ji. witli ci rral ligation ol (liis truth, undertook to bring to- gether a record that would present this knowledge within tfie pages of one volume. Fourteen years have passed since this invaluaf le yearbook was published, and much has happened during these years. It is the desire to review the old and to present the new that has prompted the Class of 1 945 to devote a section of its yearbook to a record., in words and in pictures, of w liiit has been preserved and what has been added and changed. In preparing this yearbook not only the Staff of the Shield but m iny other members of the senior class have read widely to familiarize themselves with the past of the Seminary. Poring over catalogues, including the first one of 1885. and other records has been a fascinating task. W hope that some of our own enjoy- ment and inspiration is conveyed to our readers in the following pages. We sfiould like to express our gratitude to Miss Jenkins for her constant inter- est and to all of those who have so willingly helped us in preparing our yearbook. Especially do we wish to thank Miss Atkinson, our adviser, for the interest and wise counsel she so heartily gave us.
