Prexyls Greeting Wooster, which now boasts ofa Little Theater and a dramatic fraternity, may well be proud of quickened interest in the very old and very noble dramatic art. One is constantly amazed by student capacity for quick study, extreme versatility, and highly clever acting-at least on the basis of amateur standards. Perhaps the most thrilling spectacle to one who year after year watches the swiftly flowing tides ol' youth is the drama ol' college life itself. On a stage noble and beautiful this four-act play unfolds itself with infinite variety, with zest and color, with fun and pathos. A new set of actors is always crowding the stage entrance, while another group-usually with reluctance, l venture to hope-passes through the exit. This volume is, l understand, to be the story of one year's play. ln after years it will serve to recall the names and scenes, the little tragedies, the comic inter- ludes. the setting ol' the scenery, and the flash of the footlights. As the Little 'lheater itself is part ol' a nation-wide movement, so our Wooster drama has its place in that larger play which men call Life. As l dare to believe. this great Play has a happy ending. So to all who labor on this volume now, or will look back to it later, l wish joy of the labor and eternal happiness when Life's curtain falls. r.'.- 1 I ml f I ' Twenty-three

Greetings From the Deans Recentlv a very gratifying letter came from one of our best medical schools complimenting the college on the quality of work done by the students from Wooster. A well known alum- nus in Boston said, We are always proud of the type of student Wooster sends to our graduate schools in the east. Not one of them has disappointed us. Such testimonies warm our hearts and give us confidence in the future. We have never had in the college a finer, more capable group of young people than those whom this book represents. We have every hope that they, too, will keep faith. WILLIAM R. WES'IiI'lAFER, Dean of the College During my short stay here I have learned that the College ol' Wooster is bounded on the north by the Comptons, on the east by Profes- sor Lowry, on the south by Genevieve Rowe, but that its westertn limits are as yet undefined. 'I'o each reader of the N32 Index, therefore, comes the opportunity to stake out Wooster's claims to the west, the west of undiscovered areas of activity in the realms of noble human LIIISSIIE WILLIS BROCKMAN. Dean of llhmzen endeavor. One high authority in the Presbyterian Church who is not connected with the College of Wooster recentlv said that, in his judgment. the Church could look to Wooster with greater hope than to any other college. If students and faculty together are making it possible for life to be lived more fully here so that those who go out and those of us who remain may live more fully as each student generation passes, that judgment may be vindicated, NIAIVIES ANDERSON, JR., lleazz of Mm: Twen ty-five R itil 5 t .
