Since The Elms becomes actually a record ol events and personalities, interpreted by student opinion, 1 welcome the opportunity to express m ' personal conviction tbat such journalistic and literary efforts are conducive to supplement the more Formal efforts in educa- tion. Consequently, 1 take pleasure in congratulating the staff and faculty advisor on the in- terest and ingenuity displayed in producing year after year a characteristic volume. The more such an enterprise displays or reveals the quality of the editors and the object of their description, the more definitely will it have served its purpose in training the writers and in quickening within the reader a whole-hearted response to the claims set forth, bmce an institution of learning is judged by its product— the student and alumnus we the recipi- ents of the advantages secured in this environment and by these contacts do gladly encourage others seeking similar adventure, to put to the test the offerings ol Elmhurst.
