Preface That this Ariel might contain not only a record of the happenings of the past year, but include also a bit of the history and glorious tradition of our college we have attempted to link the progress through the years with the present, in the opening section and division pages. A The drawing upon the title page is an excellent representation of the appearance of Main I-lall in 1853, while the Administration division page portrays the laying of the corner stone of this building seventy-six years ago. Mrs. Lucinda Darling Coleman, to whom the book is dedicated, is the oldest alumnus who is with us today, a member of the class of '57. The small heads in the opening panels are in the fashion of this early day. The division pages portray the changes time has brought to the campus, recording customs and traditions of each period. A typical class room of 1863 is shown under Classes, as the musicians of '73 are portrayed in the Conservatory opening page. The social life of the eighties is presented under the heading of Activities, while the last decade saw the birth of our fraternal groups and fittingly shows the early hazing in contrast to the present system. The Feature section portrays the crowning of the May Queen, one of our most beautiful traditions. Typical winter sports forms the introduction to the Athletic section, and a situation which is self explanatory starts the Humor section out in the mood of its own. , The head, reproduced in wood cut style at the bottom of the division pages is that of our founder and benefactor, Amos Lawrence, who is thus fittingly linked up to each stage of the advancement of our Alma Mater.
