Moonlighr Sing N nineteen hundred and cighteen, the first yearbook of Connecticut Col- lege appeared. Koing, it was entitled, to solidify in words chat quality of de- mocracy which is the essence and the spirit of the college. Every year, as the school has matured, with new philoso- phies of education, with increasing so- cial activities, with constantly growing traditions, Komnk has been a record of this growth. e Now, in nineteen hundred and forty, Komvg has come of age. This, our yearbook, is the twenty-first edition. And the twenty-one candles on its birth- day cake, are, we believe, symbolic not only of our many experiences here, but also of the significant progress Con- necticut has made during our college days. Traditions, faculey, students, even our daily life, all have been out- standing contributors to that unfor- getable period of four years. One by one, they have lighted a candle on the cake until, before us, the twenty-one shine radiantly. o The tradition which is, for us, first in importance as well as in order of time, is Moonlight Sing. When we were Freshmen, and were, as yet, unoriented in new surroundings, the Sing was, per- haps, the strongest factor in giving us a feeling of unirty as a class, and as mem- bers of a student body. Who will forget Good Evening, M.. Moon, Moon, Moon that first Sing when the scniors, formed in a black line on the wall, greeted us with 'Good evening, Mr. Moon, Moon, Moon? ' o Impatiently we waited for that evening at the end of our Junior year when the seniors would perform the ritual of passing on the wall to us. When the evening did arrive we discovered that fulfillment was greater than anticipation. We became aware of the deep friendship we were sharing. In our turn, the wall has been passed on to the class of Forty-One, but we will remember always those peaceful nights with blending voices and a full moon.

Upbolding Wisdom's Hallowed Name e It is the faculty that sets the true pace for the advance of a college, and gives a college its meaning and purpose. Therefore the flame of the second candle comes from Connecticut's faculty. Although our mortives were many in pursuing a college education, the basic ones were the desire for greater knowledge and the wish to become more mature and intelligent adultes. To those professors who have patiently helped us and have generously given of their own knowl- cdge, we must ever be grateful. But there is more than gratitude in our relationship; there is the strong and lasting bond of amity. e During our Freshman week, when we were bewildered and unsure of ourselves, our Faculty Advisors came to our res- cue, helping us to select courses best suited to our needs. Then the time ap- proached for us to choose our Major fields. Again the professors, by giving us some insight into the scope and mean- ing of different fields, advised us well. In the many classes we have attended they have helped us to use our minds, and have instructed us without dogmat- ic indoctrination. And both in and out of the classroom we have had the privilege of knowing them as per- sonalities. Dean Nye, Dean of Faculty
