 s neophytes we entered The City College scared, be- wildered, and companionlcss. Then the seemingly cold steel structure yielded us a friend, a friend who was to he at our side for four long years. We have been ever grateful for the helpful counsel of our Faculty Advisor. Professor George W. Wilson. Through pleasure and pain we felt his spirited presence: no silly prank or action lessened his faith in our motives: nor in our welfare. It is with sincere thanks that we tender this volume to you as a token of our appreciation.

It is a hundred miles high and a hundred miles wide. Once every thousand years a little bird comes to the rock to sharpen its beak. When the rock has thus been worn away, then a single day of eternity will have gone by.” — Hendrik Willem Van Loon The theme of this Lexicon is Time. Time, not simply in the sense of clocks ticking out arbitrary units which we call seconds, hours, days, and years, but in the sense of our relationship with all things which concern us. We have tried to convey the impression that this fleeting moment, our college career, is not so important after all; that the mo- mentous events which are shaking the world today will he insignificant a million years from now. Our own world is but a mere speck of nebular dust, and when we look at things in this light, then our problems become a much lighter burden to bear. It is in this sense that we, the Editors, are presenting the Lexicon. 1941 SENIORS Accounting Advertising Education
