ZONE: HZmD-mmwb The 195-1 GOLD records but one year in well over a century. But the loss of Baton Chapel in the first major Ere in the history of the College, and the election of Beloitls sixth and youngest president mark the 1953-1954 academic year as perhaps the most interesting of all to mirror for posterity. We are all indebted to Editor Curtis Kenyon and to Business Mana- ger William Verity and their staff for doing full justice to unusual events. Rlay you all support enthusiastically Beloitls distinguished new leader, Dr. NIiller Upton. Although the 1954 GOLD has the honor of pre- senting him, he will, I predict, provide excellent copy for many future issues of the annual. CAREY CRONEIS President. 19-14-1953
