A university, like a civilization, resembles more an or- ganism than a machine. We have seen in the Twentieth Century peoples who have tried to repudiate the past, and others who have tried to deny the future. We have seen, or shall see, these peoples fail. A branch of a tree cannot live severed from the trunk, neither can the trunk subsist when the leaf-bearing new branches are removed. It is bold, perhaps, to compare a university to a civili- zation. But the parallel exists, and rightly ; for, as has often been said but little realized, it is in the schools of today that we find the leaders of tomorrow. If more of these leaders were deeply cognizant of the nature of the plant they attempt to train, they, and we, might have things a little easier. We do not wish to preach a sermon ; we wish merely to show that this Epitome is meant to be, in reality, an epi- tome of first our University, and second our civilization. Here you will find, on our division pages, the words of the wise who preceded us, and, in our cover and our em- phasis on the 100- Year Plan, our realization of the need for growth and adaptation to the realities of the present.
