FOREWORD We live in a streamlined world as exemplified in our architecture, art, music, means of transportation, even our conversation. This world is in a period of political unrest, power of force, mass production, dynamic energy, and ter- rific change. Yet, perhaps in fear, perhaps from wisdom, or by viewing the conditions around us, one gains a new estimation of the worth of that guality known as the human personality; it becomes all the more precious, something of great value to be cherished. In this edition of the Illiwoco, we are striving to portray by our art work, informality, even simplicity, the spirit of this streamlined era. At the same instant we are striving to capture the distinct personality of MacMurray College and that individual part of each girl ' s personality common to all that makes her a MacMurray girl. It is a silent, powerful overtone that is present in tradition, buildings, classrooms, social activities, and athletics, but most of all in associations with fellow students. This awareness is the invisable bond that makes our MacMurray more than an institution of learning but a per- sonality in itself. This is the bond we have used to bind this Illiwoco into a book with a purpose — to record in picture and prose the activities and achievements of the College in the year of 1940.
