n I 24 F OREWORD In 1884 James Colby Colgate edited the first SlLl'llNlg'Ll,I1Cl'i. The purpose Was to provide a reminder of Colgate and her traditions as accur- ately and as attractively as possible. This same purpose has prevailed and as you View this 1950 edition, we hope that you will be satisfied that the goal has been fulfilled. Surrounding all our memories of Colgate is the feeling of pride in our Alma Mater. ive have endeavored to portray this pride and spirit through a few of the songs which express this feeling so adequately. Vile Wish to thank the many persons who have aided us in the publishing of the Sal: hir.

EVERIQZTIVI' NEEDI-IAM CASE AB., Princetong KLA., Cauilrridge: l,.H.D., Hamilton, liniong D.C.L., Bueknellg I.l..D., Syracuse femple, St. Lawrence, Princeton: President of Colgate University Since 1949 PRE IDENTS MESSAGE In addressing the January graduates, Lieu- tenant General Wa.lter Bedell Smith made cer- tain observations which seem to me equally ap- plicable to the Class of 1950 as a whole: In the first place, the saidl the large ma- jority . . . were hardened in the fires of war to manhood before theyid really had a chance to be boys, and regrettably that's an example of the trend of our time. In the second place, this is the first class which has been exposed to a rather unique and I think profoundly significant course of study in which this college is pioneering-a course of study which is designed to acquaint them with their responsibilities as citizens, not only of the United States, but . . of the worldf, Flattering as we may find the Generalis allusion to the new Colgate Plan, we shall not know until your tenth or even your twentieth reunion what its significance has been for you. It can, however, be said at once that as partners in this pioneering venture, the Class of 1950 has at the same time contributed much to the post- war restoration of t.hat rich diversity of extra- curricular activity which is an integral part of the life of this College. If-as on the gridiron, for example, you bequeath to your successors certain unfinished business, no one who has been close to the College through the years of war and reconstruction will deny that the general record of achievement under your leadership has been impressive. That is important, for as Colgate men and as Americans we work-and play-to win. If we have to absorb a few lickings on the way, their principal effect is to sharpen our individual intelligence and strengthen our collective de- termination. Against this spirit-quickening as it does our faith in ourselves and in each other -I know of no force, however sinister or ex- plosive, which in the long run can prevail. Keep it alive.
