llllllllllllllllllllllll FOREWORD S one steams into our western harbor from the Orient, he must pass thru a bit of natural scenery so radiantly beautiful that America has named it, the Golden Gate. Possibly nowhere on earth does the sun linger so lovingly as it does on the steep ascents that form the nar- row way and upon the ships as they pass thru. To the Oriental, coming from far countries, it must seem a veritable gateway of promise, of wel- come, and a glorious entrance into this new land of his d1'eams. From the distant East, where civilization once lay cradled, he has come into the West where Progress has grown to manhood and with wide flung arms, it leads him in thru-the Golden Gate. We have no such glowing bit of Nature here at the college, instead rise two gray pillars, but they stand far apart as tho saying that they make way for many to pass between. For us, as is the Western gate for the Oriental, they are a symbol of promise and an entrance into a new life and world. Home is like the East, where all the beginnings of growth a1'e madeg college is like the West where those beginnings are to mature and to iinally culminate into vigorous man and womanhood. Our college entrance, then, is our Golden Gate-our gateway of opportunity. -7. HIIHlllilWPS!!flllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllmlllllllHHHlllllllllllllllllllllll
