E P ELWEI Ci)c Ctjehuetss N the heights of the snow-clad Alps grows a little plant called the “edelweiss.” That, interpreted, means “noble purity,” and truly the name is a fortunate one, for among a mass of sage-green leaves peeps out a small blossom, white as the snow which lies on the surrounding hills. Only on the high, steep mountain sides does it grow; there it lives, hardy and strong, lifting its face into the cold, crisp air. Although it is not a beautiful flower, and has no fragrance, yet how often it has brought joy to the mountain climber, who, when he sees it, knows that he is nearing the summit of the mountain. So for years it has been a custom for tourists who climb the Alps to bring back this little flower as a proof of their prowess and as a reward of their labor and toil. So our annual is called the “Edelweiss” because, like the white flower, it is a reward for our weary labor and toil in trying to climb the mountain of success. And though of course our book is not perfect—like the white flower, without beauty and fragrance—still, as the little.snow blossom brings gladness to the hearts of the Alpine climbers, so this little book brings joy to the hearts of the toilers and makes us feel that our efforts have been worth while.
