WAY UF I TIQIDDUCTIU This is our interpretation of 1949 at Earlham College. Our efforts have been devoted to the presentation of what the opening blurb proclaims: a pic- ture story of one year in a liberal arts college, during the atomic age. This is something less than accurate, because Earlham is something more than just a liberal arts college. Earlham, one might say, is Old Siwash with a soul, and though the soul has often been obscured, it has been known to pop into view at the most unexpected of times and in the most embarrassing of manners. This, then, is the story of how more than seven hundred men and women of diverse backgrounds and opinions lived and studied together in an explosive at- mosphere of clashing opinions and great friendships. We have not tried to re- create a yeartat Earlham, no yearbook has a right to be so ambitious. Rather, our more modest hope has been to furnish, with the best of our art and insight, the materials with which you can recreate your own years. Although we wel- come all readers, the book is addressed to those who know Earlham, therefore, there are no articles explaining what you already know about organizations. The format and design of the 1949 Sargasso represent certain convictions. We are convinced that yearbooks are often looked at but seldom read, conse- quently we have relatively few writeups, but lots of pictures. Since years are chronological units, we are convinced that yeatbooks ought to be chronological units, so we have tried to treat things as they happen. We are further convinced that going to Earlham is an informal experience, and we have emphasized this in our pictures. And because we don't believe that underclassmen are class con- scious, we have not photographed them by classes. The Sfzrgfzyfo is no garden seed catalogue, nor even a college catalogue. Our intent is to picture Earlham, not to sell it. This is an honest book, and we have not knowingly ignored any significant aspect of the college community. Finally, everything we have tried to do here has been motivated by what we hope is an obvious fact: we love Earlham College. Page 9
