We have portrayed in words and pictures the story of Beloit College in the academic year of 1948-1949. The school has nearly doubled its pre-war enrollment, l and now is growing internally to match its outward size. The new student constitution is just one of the many changes that have been necessitated by this growth. The cramped pages of this book give a graphic indication of the number of new groups which have reached the stage of ofhcial recognition; 91 many other organizations now in a nebulous semi- otiicial state will undoubtedly make their appearance in these pages in the next few years. There are, no doubt, some people who would maintain that many of these groups exist solely for the purpose of having their picture in THE GOLD, but even the most cursory glance at the following pages will reveal what an important part these organizations play in our edu- cation above and beyond the classroom work. l In making up this book, we have tried to keep the l layout simple and uncluttered in contrast with the increasing complexity of life at Beloit College. This simplicity could hardly be called a theme of the book, but it has certainly been the theme of our work, in that we hope a careful record of our experience and expense this year will enable future issues of THE GOLD to be bigger and better than ever before. The next page is a brief outline of the book. On going through the pages following, we hope you will get some idea of the fun and the work at Beloit, and catch the spirit of the individuals who make up the college, each a definite personality, contributing his part to making Beloit what it is today.
