FOREWORD IFTY years! A long time as men compute age, but in the life or a university, a mere infancy. As our university prepares to celebrate its golden anniversary, we cannot help but feel that the powerful strides of former years are but a beginning, and that the lusty infant will continue to grow in service and in glory. With this thought in mind, we offer this history of the year just passing with best wishes for the future growth of the institution, and hoping that the contents of this volume will still be treasured when its possessor ' s eyes are dimmed with age and our school has completed yet another half century of service in the field of education.
