As time goes by and one finds himself far along on some distant, future way of life, he may turn, glance back, and then, and then only, can he truly evaluate these events that are the present. We are no exception. We are nearsighted. But we have tried to project ourselves — to give you in this 1946 ARBUTUS a true picture of the year — a picture of what some day will be memories, some of the best memories of your life . . . Even now as you turn these pages for the first time, you find memories, and even now these memories are mellowing and the circumstances that created them are chang- ing. This is as it should be. A University should be the symbol of change and progress . . .

And yet, there is something unchanging about a University. Through all this pattern of change and counterchange there is woven the steel thread of tradition, without which there would be no pattern — no lasting pattern. And so, let us say it has been a year with more than its share of changes . . . but a year that saw the rebirth of many of the old traditions. We emerged from four years of war and rushed almost desperately into peace, remembering back to gayer days. The G.I. ' s came home . . . came in large numbers and swelled the enrollment, creating new spirit at I.U. . . . The new spirit and the old together ... let that stand for Indiana Univer- sity — for the year of ' 46 . . .
