Central College - Pelican Yearbook (Pella, IA)

I FORWARD It was the aim of the staff in compiling this 1937 edition of the Pelican to neither denounce conservatism nor be bound by old, standardized rules of annual build- ing. To as great a degree as possible we have made the theme of the book an informal one, molding it in what we believe to be an original manner, endeavor- ing to review for you Central's life and spirit and re- kindling the great love which only a Centralite can hold for C. U. I. We believe that it matters not so much what a person does but how he does it. With dislike for formal explanations and a degree of respect for the old Chinese proverb- A picture is worth 10,000 words, we have avoided stiffness in explanations and have utilized as much space as prac- tically possible for photographs.

DEDICATION CAMONG THE MANY individuals on Cenfmzu campus, there is one who will always he intensely admir- ed and respected-an individual with high idealsg an individual with an all-absorbing interest not only in Cen- tral College hut in each person in the Collegeg an indi- vidual who never was too husy to pass on a word of hope and encouragemnt to a forlorn, bewildered student. The Pelican realizes how inadequate this trihute isg and yet, knowing the sentiment of Central students toward the personality, the character, and the steadfast- ness of this mang it is with great pleasure and honor that the class, which was initiated with him to Central,s administration in '34-'35, sincerely and respectfully dedi- cates this volume of the Pelican to Dr. Irwin J. Lubbers, our President. 4 l .1 i l Ii 1 J
