ALPHA - 1936 INTERPRETATION OF THE ART WORK IN ALPHA The layout and illustrations of this year ' s Alpha have been designed in keeping with today ' s trend. The central themes of the illustrations are handcrafts and science, these subjects being chosen because the book is dedicated to Miss Beckwith and Mr. Shaw. The following outline gives the central theme in each of the illustrated pages: END SHEETS: Science and handcrafts symbolized in objects carried by student. CLASSES: Science symbolized in experimentation with nature. STUDENT CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION: Science and the handcrafts symbolized in student activities leading to central figure, the head of the Student Co-operative Association. CLUBS: Handcrafts symbolized in central figure of a puppet, holding strings to various clubs of the college. ATHLETICS: Science symbolized in force and strain of athletes. ART ASSISTANTS Ralph Nelson, John Julin, Dorothy Perkins, Kathleen Kelly, Joseph Chicetti. APPRECIATION The Editorial Board of Alpha for 1936 wish to extend our sincere appreciation to Miss Davis, Miss Nye, Miss Pope, and Mr. Kelly, our faculty advisers, in acknowl- edgement of their valuable assistance in the publishing of this book. We also thank all members of the college who have aided in making the task of publishing the Alpha a most enjoyable and profitable experience.

When we, as Freshmen, entered Boyden Hall, And looked around with eager, se arching eye, The first to meet our glance Was that set high above the door ' s wide arch, A creed: — Bridgewater ' s Creed, Which we shall love and cherish evermore, Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. That motto old which did our entrance hail Is more than words of bronze upon the wall; It forms the doctrine clear By which we spend our pleasant college days, And doubtless it will guide our future years,- A creed: — Bridgewater ' s Creed, Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. — Richard Dwyer.
