The President Speaks The College Year Book is by no means a new invention. Perhaps it helped suggest the modern picturefnews magazine. If so, it must share responsibility for a development which is a doubtful indication of educational progress. Picturefreading belongs to a primitive rather than a cultivated society. Picturefreading does not require long training, although perfection in the art of photography is a recent development and the college year book has been the beneficiary of this progress. Perhaps our pleasure in perusing a picture book is a persistence into the adult years of our childhood delight in such presentation. If so it is not to be too seriously deprecated for the simplefhearted delights of childhood are too easily lost in the complexities of the adult years. So let us think of the pleasure which we anticipate in again perusing a Juniata year book, not as a throwfhack to the primitive, but as a ref living of that early delight which we had in a beautiful picture book as we glean in this happy manner our impressions of the year on College Hill. In the assurance therefore that nothing I can say about L'The Boy and Girl at Juniata will be as significant or interesting as the pictures themselves, I beg to express the hope that this may be a record not only of happy days but of Worthy living. Yours Very Sincerely, CHARLES C. ELLIS
