FOREWORD tlllll love, I,ll defend, and Ill honor, The glorious Orange and Blue? The Orange and the Blueefifty years ago these colors were chosen as the official colors of Gettysburg College. In the intervening years they have come to be the symbol of all the campus traditions, activities, and ideals. Fifty years ago Brua Chapel was built, subsequently to become the focal point of all college life. Keeping in the foreground this dual theme of the Orange and the Blue and Brua Chapel, we have endeavored to present to you, in an in- formal literary and pictorial style, this year at Gettysburg. It is our sincere hope that within the covers of this book you will find a clear and accurate presentation of the college we all have come to love and revere as our Alma Blater.

DEDICATION Brua Chapelethe focal point of our college from the moment the academic procession enters its doors to announce the formal opening of the college year, to the day the students attend the last worship service which will see us all together. Chapelethe scene of the overwhelming enthusiasm of pep meetings during football season, and the setting for concerts and lectures throughout the year. Chapelethe sounding-board against which the band and orchestra fling their harmonies dur- ing rehearsals, and the place of worship toward which we wend our way on the days set apart for our fathers and mothers. Chapel-whose walls have seen those meetings which unite the faculty, the student body, the diversified interests of the campus into the whole which is the college. T0 the everlasting memory of Brua Chapel, for fifty years the hub upon which the wheel of campus life has revolved, we dedicate this SPECTRUM.
