DEFIANCE COLLEGE DEFIANCE, OHIO OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT May ze, 1928 TO THE READERS OF THE ORACULUM: The editor has requested me to write a message to the readers of the Oraculum. As I comply with that request I am thinking of the annual publication of the junior class as an enterprise of very busy students who have cheerfully and enthusiastically undertaken a task and have persisted in it although it involves much thought and labor. They have been spurred by the desire to do justice to their own ability, to honor their own class, and to represent worthily the college of which they are a part. I am thinking of it also as an intimate record of the campus life of the past year to be scanned at once by present and former students and friends of the college and to be preserved for future reference by those who have lived through the experiences here depicted. It includes a collection of pictures of students and faculty, and of campus views and organizations. Of course some one un- acquainted with Defiance College cannot fully understand this record, for many of its most vivid pictures and most interesting stories are printed with invisible ink, which becomes visible only to those who can apply the chemical agent - the memory of one who has lived with the characters and shared the experiences described in this record. The Oraculum is only one expression of the vital energy of a living organism which we know as Defiance College. Through the many functions and activities of this organism lives are molded and careers are influenced. Surely then it will not be considered merely a formal ex- pression of something I am expected to say when I venture to express the hope that all the activities and influences in which we who are here have a part may ever be constructive in character and productive of abiding satisfaction. Most sincerely, President. jifncm
