' ' ■ ' A .■yl wi - - rj- -- mi ' (H., ? ? ' -,. A COLLEGE is more than simply a group of l)uilrlings housing lab- oratories, offices and classrooms. It is the students who every day put life into those buildings, it is the professors who pass knowl- edge acquired during years of study on to the students, it is the admin- istrators who co-ordinate the activities of both students and faculty into a smooth-functioning institution. But above these material ingre- dients of c ollege is an intangible spirit of pride in the school which sets it apart from similar groups. Kansas State College students, faculty and administrators have dis- played this feeling of pride in their school to such a degree that Kan- sas State has become an educational center known over the world. The attitude of always progressing has not only furthered the physical facilities of the College, but has built Kansas State ' s reputation as a school for the students to the highest pinnacle in the schools history. Kansas State ' s judging teams have become known as hard competi- tors throughout the country, and the Wildcats have proved the prow- ess of K-State students in sports. The list could continue for pages. Classroom work doesn ' t consume all the students ' time. The frater- nity social hours, all-College dances. Artist Series programs and dra- matic productions are all a part of four years of schooling. It doesn ' t stop there. Friends are acquired over a cup of coffee at the Union or Canteen. Working with other students in student activities proves that the whole of a college education doesn ' t come out of textbooks, but also from experience. The college yearbook has the responsibility of recording the year ' s college life, both in the classroom and out. It is also the objective of the staff to insert some of the high esprit de corps exhibited by Kan- sas State students. We ' ve tried, here it is: Kansas State 1955-56. . . Sam Logan
