We of the staff sincerely hope that this Log will recall to you many pleasant memories and that it will serve as a reminder of those wonderful days spent on the Buena Vista Campus. d 1 1 nz — ■— ■ i T 1 14 e uTure ... to the future of Buena Vista College we dedicate the 1959 Beaver Log. Recent years have brought changes to the Buena Vista campus. Old Main is gone. Only her arch remains — a symbol of a rich heritage, a challenge for a bright future. Plans for new buildings are completed; their construction will soon be under way. The future promises much for Buena Vista College. ... to the future Victory Arch. Approaching the campus from the southeast a future visitor to Buena Vista College will look through the old to the new. Through the recon- structed arch of Old Main he will see the new administration and classroom building. The future Victory Arch will stand in memory of the past Buena Vista College as it leads to the present. ... to the future Schaller Memorial Chapel. Through the Victory Arch the future vis- itor will see the center of religious life on campus, the beautiful Schaller Memorial Chapel. This year the chapel addition to the administration building took a large step toward reality with the generous gift by George J. Schaller. The religious experiences of every Buena Vista student will be heightened by this future addition to the college campus. ... to the future library building. The visitor of the future will see the new library building, an addition to the educational life of the Buena Vista student. This building and its facilities will broaden the horizons of all students who enter its doors of learning. ... to the future of Education for Service in the future halls of Buena Vista College, we dedicate the 1959 Beaver Log. 1 . o D o ■g o o CO J -5 = — 5- - S o  - o .

In a certain sense this is so, but it remains so only when the degree holder takes his responsibilities seriously. I would charge each of you (1) to hold aloft a noble purpose and sound values; (2) to have an appreciation of the beautiful; (3) to maintain an enduring belief in freedom of the mind and spirit; (4) to be a doer as well as a thinker; (5) to consider education as having no terminal point; (6i to live every moment of your life To the glory of God and the welfare of mankind. May Almighty God bless you as you assume these responsibilities of the educated. Sincerely, a. John A. Fisher President 17 Administration EDWARD E.

The editor and assistant editor, appointed each year by the Faculty-Student Publications Committee, do re- ceive financial compensation. All other staff mem- bers donate their time and effort to the accomplish- ment of publication. The purpose of the book is to tell the Beaver story for the year. We, of the staff, hope that this Log story will bring back memories to each and ev- ery student. Its story is that of the student throughout the three seasons of his college year. Each season was filled with social activity, religious growth, ath- letic participation, and educational study. On the pages of the Log these events have been recorded for the future. We hope that this record will be en- joyed by all who read it.
