Elmhurst College - Elms Yearbook (Elmhurst, IL)

Foreword IN the publication of this annual, its editors have instituted several changes which they hope will meet with the approval of its readers. The first of these is the absence of a so-called ' ' theme and a formal dedication, which features, although giv- ing coherence and unity to a year book if well-handled, too often make for distortion of material to fit a pattern, and destroy individuality. The second innovation is the insertion of two pictorial sec- tions, one of campus scenes, and the other of Elmhurst city scenes. Aside from their photographic beauty, they give accurate pictures of the college campus and the city ' s business district. The editors feel that these changes have helped in the achievement of their goal— the publication of an annual that gives a true picture of the college and its progress in as simple and straightforward a manner as possible.

Since we believe that dedications as applied to such non-creative compilations as annuals count for very little, that they are usually so much hol- low flattery, giving the impression of setting up as little gods people who are entitled simply to decent respect and admiration, and finally, since we feel that nobody reads them anyhow, it is our earnest hope that this one may serve as a Dedication to end all Dedications.
