:;r: ' : ,™ A college annual must include many things- happenings on the campus that are of good sense and happenings that are of nonsense, all blended into a unity. A center on the campus was needed which, through a depiction of its activi- ties throughout the year, would show an accurate cross section of college life. Ideally, the Memor- ial Union was this center. As you leaf through the 1940 Bomb, you will find four major divisions in the book. The first pages make up Book ONE, known as CLASS HOURS. The means and the end of our college progress are found here— the means in the person of the administration and the fac- ulty, and the end in the person of the graduating seniors. The endless time spent in activities and the reward for those hours of work— the honoraries —are all represented in the second section. Book TWO is called BETWEEN HOURS. Action— from the smashing drives on the grid- iron to the beauty and grace witnessed on a tennis court— is pictured in Book THREE, PLAY HOURS, devoted to athletics. Here, too, you will find a record of the activities of Iowa State ' s well organized intramural system. And finally, the story book part of college comes to the front in Book FOUR, entitled AFTER HOURS, and we see dormitory life and get a glimpse of sororities and fraternities. The beauties are presented formally, and Veishea, the Madi Gras of Iowa State, is pictured. Assembled into the record of another busy year, these four books are built on the theme that the Union touches every phase of our college life. Respectfully, the 1940 Bomb is dedicated to the Memorial Union. •
