THE SPHINX . . . 1947 DEDICATION T is to the hope of World Unity that we, the Class of 1947, dedicate this issue of the Sphinx. We are standing on the threshold of a new era, testing whether countries of contrasting nationalities, languages, and customs can work hand in hand to preserve the peace for which we so ardently fought. It is up to us, the future citizens of the United States, to acquaint ourselves with the habits of other countries, beginning with our next-door neighbors to the north and south, and branching out to include Europe and the Far East. It is only by a thorough under- standing of the daily life in other countries that we may finally realize our ultimate goal-One World. 4
