Foreword THE purpose of the yearbook is to present to its readers a concise, accurate record of all the concrete influences which directly affect the college student. With this thought in mind the editors of the current annual have attempted to compile a true record that will be a permanent history of the year 1939 and of the class of 1940. We have not laid too much stress upon colorful designs, unusual layouts, or extreme innovations. To be of real value a record must be simple. The editors have considered of prime importance the quality of the book. From a compo- sition point of view the quality of a book depends upon good clean printing and clear reproductions. In brief, the eighty-fourth edition of the Bowdoin Bugle, published by the class of 1940, turns from the semi-magazine type of annual to the simplicity of a good book. We have not gained all our objectives, however. Not all that concerns the life of the college student has found room in the current edition. We leave to the succeeding class the opportunity to improve still more the Bowdoin Bugle. Our efforts have been more effectively accomplished with the invaluable assistance of many good friends. All credit for the simplicity of design and excellent printing of this book belongs to Mr. Fred Anthoensen of Portland. We wish to thank Mr. Jordan of the Roger Paul Jordan Studios for most of the group pictures in the book and for the excellent reproductions of the members of the class of 1940. The fine photograph of the Polar Bear in the frontispiece and the casual picture of “Casey” in the last section are the very welcome con- tributions of Professor Stanley B. Smith. The striking picture of the Chapel, entitled “Sunday Morning,” is the gift of Professor Boyd W. Bartlett. The action pictures of the football games arc reproduced in the annual through the courtesy of the Gannett Publishing Company and the Kennebec journal. The distinctive portrait of Professor Tillotson is by Boris. The editors of the 1940 Bugle wish to express gratitude for the cooperation and advice of the faculty advisors, Mr. Philip S. Wilder, Mr. Kenneth J. Boyer, and Mr. Herbert W. Hartman, Jr. Our work would have been much more difficult without the aid of the college and athletic office staffs. Finally we ap- preciate the attitude of the members of the class of 1940 whose active coopera- tion insured the prompt issue of their Bugle. We hope that this Bugle will approach the standards of an accurate record and will be of lasting pleasure to its owner. Paul LeB. Wheeler Bowdoin College, A frit 25, 1939
