Foreword A century ago American pioneers in cover- ed wagons and on horseback were slowly pushing their way across the country. They were searching for gold, but during this jour- ney they opened new,and vast frontiers. Al- though they did not realize it, they were building America. It seems to us appropriate that in these days of supersonic aircraft and atomic fission we look back across history for one hundred years to the days of the early lllest. lVe find it enjoyable and interesting' to glance back to the problems and the pleasures of the pioneers of a century ago. The far- away' atmosphere of wagon wheels, cowboys. the loneliness of the Great Plains, the friend- ly companionship of an old-time square dance all pass in the panorama. Now, one hundred years later, the scramb- led staccato of current events outlines the ap- pearance on an inspiring new world. The graduating class of 1949, like the original forty-niners. is also entering upon new fron- tiers.
