preface THE CLASS OF 1942 has almost come to the end of its four years at Lehigh, and it is natural that we should stop and look back before we step out into the next phase of our lives and see what the University has meant to us. We came to college for many reasons, of course : many came for purely technical training to enable them to earn more money after they leave college; others came for social position; still others came for the combination of sound technical knowl- edge and skill in human relations which make of a man a leader of men. But to us and to the classes following us, life has suddenly become a grimmer affair than we knew it could be. Leadership and engineering ability have become essential to the very life of our country; our personal desires have been made subordinate to the nation ' s need. The purpose of the 1 942 Epitome, then, can no longer be that of its predecessors; rather than pointing with pride to our achieve- ments, our summary of Lehigh must impartially display Lehigh ' s facilities for developing men sound in technical knowledge and broad of viewpoint, capable of leading the country to victory in war, and afterward to a lasting peace. 7 • LJslA lUL. lj L -UU%

histo CHARTER, keys, trowel and pocket- watch— an odd assortment, yet each re- lated to the early history of Lehigh. The watch is Asa Packer ' s own, kept in the Lehigh Treasure Room in the Library. The keys are reputed to be the old keys to Packer Hall before the modern tumbler locks were put on the doors. The trowel laid the cornerstone to Mary Packer ' s chapel in 1887. On ordinary theme paper, the charter, hardly a pretentious-looking document, is the cornerstone of Lehigh.
