The cover painting, Bucknell Landsca-pe, was done expressly for L ' Agenda by our artist-in-residence, Bruce Mitchell. Having received wide recognition for his Bucknell paintings, Biuce has been described by art critics as one of America ' s foremost landscape artists. His paintings have been exhibited in prominent national and inter- national showings and many have been acquired by leading museums including the MetropoUtan and Whitney. An artist war correspondent for LIFE magazine in World War 11, Bruce has won many honors in his field, including the Guggenheim, Yaddo, and Tiffany Fellowships. He is the only American artist to have won all three of these awards.

neM ' L ' Agenda is borrowed from the French for the doings. It has been our intention in preparing the 1950 L ' Agenda to present a record of the doings we have all cherished during our four years at Bucknell. We have kept in mind the fact that the value of this book is cumulative, and that, in years to come, you will turn to L ' Agenda with proud reverie. Every graduating class can find a unique anniversary all its own if it tries hard enough . . . fifty years since the first student flunked out . . . twenty since demonstration lectures have been in effect. Bucknell ' s class of 1950, however, represents an anniversary of which we are especially proud because it belongs entirely and exclusively to our class. The class of 1950 is the one hundredth class to be graduated from Bucknell Llniversity. Our plan in presenting this record of our doings has been to portray the activities as outgrowths of Bucknell as an educational institution. We feel that our activities are an intrinsic part of our education and are classroom principles in practice. Consequently, each department has been presented under the administrati ' e sec- tions as they are listed in the catalogue, and each activity is included in the department which has the greatest effect on it.
