Emerson College - Emersonian Yearbook (Boston, MA)

Page 5 text:

f ‘ merson is a small college. It follows that a graduate f will treasure an annual much more than a graduate of a large University, for his class is more closely knit, more of a family gathering. During four years here he has worked together with just about every member of his class and has kept friendly relations with each one of them. They become a part of his daily life. During the fourth year if one of them is missing for a day or so, he or she is missed immediately, not forgotten in the huge mob. The Emerson Senior may soon part from his classmates but never will he forget any of them. With this in mind we have tried to create a mood for his annual, maybe a bit nostalgic, maybe not, for some. There is not meant to be a central idea, no message, no sermons about building his life in the outside world. The Emerson graduate knows of this, is ready to face it himself, for his education here has prepared him for it. What he wants in his book is memories; memories of his family of friends in his last days of school. Something he can carry under his arm at any time or place and feel his college days are with him. And the mood? You cannot explain a mood to someone, you only sense it. And it was for this sense that this annual was meant to be. Maybe, on the following pages, you may see why . . .
