FOREWORD As the pages of the Fiftieth Anniversary Campus unfold before you, we hope you will see how Emory has grown and changed to become a great university, but most of all we hope you will see and re- member the campus at present. It is our world today, but will be our past tomorrow. The heritage of the past is displayed and traditions set for the future. In our first attempt to change the Cam- pus to a summer delivery book many techni- cal difficulties were met. Due to this, a great deal had to be omitted because of the tremendous size created by the initial change. It is felt, however, that the small sacrifices made will enable the yearbook to more fully serve its purpose, that being to cover a student's complete year at Emory from registration to graduation.
