tion of the other The monument reared by his own efforts will far surpass those wrought 1n marble by other hands His pre eminence as an orator, writer, educator and public man received recognition at home and abroad He served as the President of the General Council of the Lutheran Church, a member of the Kan sas Legislature of the National Republican Convention 1896 The Royal University of Upsala conferred on him its Ph D 1893 Several institutions of learning conferred on him, Doctor of Divinity. In 1901 the King of Sweden made him Knight of the Royal Order of the North Star. He died February 16th, 1904, in Los Angeles, California. President Swensson was a man of unusual versatility. Few were as rich in resource. Without funds, and frequently with only a few friends, he built from the most meagre beginnings an institution which now commands respect as one of the strongest in the South West. Familiarity breeds contempt is an old adage, which however in the case of Dr. Swensson has no application. To those who knew him best lie was the greatest. The irresistible charm of his magnetic per- sonality drew all, who came near, within its magic circle. The boys and girls who studied at Bethany during Swensson's days cherish him above all others and their mourning at his untimely demise was as the sorrow for a father. o ' . .

4 Foreword. . A pleasant Freshman dream-materialized. Such is the effort of the present Junior class. We wondered, Why not an Annual ? . We feared, we hoped-we did!. The Daisy is the result. Wtih many misgivings, but with unity in our ranks, determination in our hearts, and faith in Faculty and fellow-students, we began the pub- lication of this book.. Had we known thie enor- mity of the task, it would have been left un- done. To summarize the great'and grand work done at Bethany, to record her progress and achievements, to depict adequately her college life of today, to gather in a book, at least some of the humor and. laughter on the wing, to do all this and do it justice, is a task beyond the ability of any Junior. However, we deemed it worthy of our attempt and voici du livre. Errors? Yes. Mistakes? Yes. Hasty com- pilation? Yes. But with all its faults, does it not fill a long-felt want? Will it not ocupy a prominent place in your library? In the future, years hence, when perhaps your raven locks are turned to silver gray, will you not cherish it as a memento of happy, guileless, care-free college days? You who have been slammedj don't get sore the slam is harmless and stingless.. You w o have not been slammed, cheer up, you may get yours next year.. You who do not understand or appreciate college fun and humor, this book is not for you. Educate yourselves. Here's hoping that your Daisy, ere your life is spent, may require rebinding, not because our printer did a bad job, but because you wore out the binding. Page Nine
