EDITORIAL THE FIREBRAND, which first appeared in nine- teen twenty-three, next year will celebrate its silver anniversary. During this quarter century it has come to represent a significant part of what makes the Dominican College of San Rafael: to each graduate four compact books that hold within their brown covers the dignity and essence of our college.

It is something more, something which, although it can never be set down on paper, we have hoped to approximate. If you have attended the college and ever have asked yourself the question, What makes Dominican Dominican? , we hope that in these pages you may find an answer which, at least in part, will satisfy you. If, on the other hand, you are something of a stranger to our college, it is our desire that through the me- dium of these pages you will come to kno v it and, with us, here to feel at home. P. C.
