Armstrong College - Aldus Yearbook (Berkeley, CA)

In 1925, the ALDUS, the yearbook of Armstrong College, first saw the light of day. The editor and staff of that first ALDUS had high hopes for the fledgling annual, so they endowed it with the name of one Whose name has come to stand for all that is great in the art of printing--Aldus Manutius . Aldus Manutius, scholar, grammarian, author, printer, and typographer, founded the Aldine Press in Venice, in 1490. From the Aldine presses, for the next 107 years, rolled the works of Dante, Petrarch, Boccacio and Greek and Roman classicists--Works noted for their accuracy of text, the beautiful printing and splendid binding. In addition, Manutius developed the italic type face, which he named after his native country. We, the editor and staff of this year's annual, hope that we have lived up to the ideals of our predecessors in presenting this edition of ALDUS.

Progress, to develop or improve. We here at Armstrong College are in the stage of redevelopment. The development process is a long and sometimes seemingly slow one. Yet, we here feel that definite progress is being made toward the goals that all College students want. Time is the essence. For some it is a never-ending process: they keep forging ahead and making slow progress. That is what we are doing here at Armstrong. The formation of the Spirit Committee, the Carnival, athletics and accreditation are the basic stepping stones for what we want, to be at the top. It is for this progress that we are achieving, that the theme of our book shall be PROGRESS. . . are E it I .-ff

IN MEMORIUM Leslie A. Wright could be considered a symbol of the theme of the l96l ALDUS -- Progress . L. A. , as he was affectionately called by his many friends and associates, was always looking to the future. Many people retire at the age of seventy or before -- not Leslie A. Wright. When he was seventy years young, he started his second career as a counselor at Armstrong College and served loyally until he officially retired at the age of ninety-one. He was a combination of friend, counselor, and adviser to all who knew him. He could entertain, inform or inspire as the situation demanded He was more progressive in his viewpoint than some people half his age. As a symbol of progress, he continued to keep the forward look. His counsel was always slanted to progress -- the successful progress of students and friends who came to him for advice. - Page 7 -
