FOREWORD ITH the present volume, the Microcosm completes seventy-five years devoted to the annual recording of the achievements of the College and its students. We commemorate these years of service in a special section dedi- cated to the first history of the Microcosm ever to appear in the yearbook. In this, as in every preceding edition, it has been the earnest desire of the staff to capture a small part of the spirit that is City College, the spirit that has been our College for four years. And it is extremely diffi- cult to give voice to this spirit through the medium of cold type. We have endeavored to avoid ex- cessive ornamentation,—to make this a volume not merely to be glanced at, admired and put aside, but one to be read over and over again, one whose contents will throb with new life at each reading, whose story will be revivified each time in terms of the reader s own experiences during the four years spent at school. If we have suc- ceeded in only a small part of the task, we feel that our aim has been achieved.
