A DEDIC TIO To two men-father and son-both of whose work on the Fresno State College campus has done much to promote the interests of the college, the sudents, and the administration, this edition of the 1938 Campus is dedicated. Long holding positions of responsibility in Fresno schools, John A. Nowell leaves Fresno State this year after 38 years of teaching in Fresno, 18 of which he spent in service at Fresno State College. Dean of the Fresno Junior College, Dean of Men of the Fresno Normal School, and associate professor of social science for Fresno State Teachers' College and Fresno State College, Mr. Nowell has Watched the college grow, and has encouraged and aided the development. Fostering the progress of the college has been his vocation, and to him the college owes much for his inspiring help and guidance. Carrying on his father's work and ideals, Dr. Charles E. Nowell will remain at Fresno State. Dr. Nowell has been a member of the faculty since 1931 and before that had been closely allied with the college several years as a former student.

In fact, it seems to me that no portrayal of the year's activities could be com- plete or accurate without acknowledging the importance of the relationship between the two sexes. Therefore, in this publication, the l938 Campus Staff has endeavored to capture the highlights of the 1937-1938 collegiate year, putting emphasis necessarily on Romance at College. At one time or another during one's college days, everybody feels the prick of Cupid's arrow, in varying degrees, no doubt, but the way that that 'fcertain feel- ing alters the impressions of one's fellow students, instructors, and even the familiar buildings of the insti- tution itself is significant and never forgotten. lt has been the chief objective of the staff to incorporate in this 1938 Campus and thereby, to put in more lasting form, those impressions received in college, memories that will be cherished more and more as the years go byg memories that will bring many a smile to the lips of former Fresno Staters when they reopen their 1938 Campuses to recall the eventful happenings of the year, The Editor

Our pride in each new volume of the Campus depends upon its success in truly portraying the life, the charm, and the spirit of the college. We feel that this spirit is sincerely democratic. One feature of the 1938 book reminds us that this was not always true of American colleges. The development of a broadly democratic spirit was a slow process. One step in that progress came just a century ago when co-education gained its first recognition. Bitter years of battle on that issue followed, for prejudice and conceit die hard. The tribute to co-education in this Campus is a fitting gesture in memory of a struggle hap- pily ended. Other barriers to a full realization of democ- racy in American college life have not everywhere been fully broken down. We may well feel a loyal pride in the way this book, with its beauty and cleverness, shows also the leadership of Fresno State College on the path- way of progress. FRANK W.
