Jflomimrii T N the perusal of this volume, the reader will find no cen- tral theme played upon through- out, no motif about which the decorative features revolve. 'I his very lack of motif the editors deem the most suitable upon which to base a record of a mi- crocosm containing within itself so many contrasting angles, so many dissimilar points of view, that it were impossible to reflect one underlying spirit in the mir- ror which this volume seeks to Z h v llfy.

Class of 1927 - This volume seems a precious thing now, .ait it will become more and more dear to you as the years flow by, because it is a record of your youth. From time to time you will open it and recall thoughts and words and deeds which were part of your life at College. It will be a picture of your little Misle of the long ago” which in reality grows dimmer and dimmer as you float down the river of time . My wish is that you may be able to retain in all the situations of life the best qualities of your youth in College. Here you were taught by disinterested seekers after the truth. Possibly your professors did not all agree among themselves on all subjects, but their motives were honorable, and they appealed to the natural and spontaneous frankness of young men. I hope that as you become more skilled in practical affairs, more re- sourceful, more powerful, more tactful and more shrewd, you will control the strength of your maturity with an idealism that will remain forever young. Vay a glance now and then at this record of life on an isle of the long ago keep alive a love for truth and a sincere desire to combine with practical success the ideals of the scientist who toils for the good of humanity.
