Foreword We are privileged for four years intensively to prepare for the struggle which is life, Our college days are days of readjustment, during which the true values of life gradually assume their proper proportions. It is vital that this development of character, which is the aim of all education, become consciously subjective during our college careerc That we may the more readily benefit bythis, our trial society, certain clearly denned but closely related lields of activity, offering intellectual, moral, and social problems anal- ogous to those which we shall encounter in later life, have been created to supplement the curriculum, Active interest in these fields of activity offers opportunity of qualification for the conduct which is expected of college-bred people. The ability to eo-operate' must be cultivated, since only from such 'ability can that of leadership be evolved. Paine, not only of person, but of carefully defined mental attitudes, must be achieved, that the conlidence of society in its leaders may be justified. The power of ereatifve thought, neglect of which renders barren a life potentially fertile, is an instrument vital to the prog- ress of society, since contidence in its leaders demands that they take the initiative. Whatever role the college graduate' is to play, it is fundamental that his conductbe governed by the principles of true sportsmanship. It is the purpose of this Iris to present the prospect which lies before us who stand within these ancient ivied halls and gaze out over the world up to the hills beyond. .
