Editorial |pHE TOWER OF 1929 is at once a greeting, a farewell, and a pledge of lifelong affection to the Class of ' 29 from the Class of ’30. For three delightful years we have lived together in the shadow of the Copper Tower, sharing the same pleasures, studying books and one another. During these three years we have gleaned a rich harvest of priceless memories—memories to be cherished as fondly as the Copper Tower itself. They are not of big events; for some reason it is the tiny things that we treasure most, the things that come to us so quietly, so casually, that we cannot explain why we value them so highly. Because we have loved Manhattanville, we shall always love the sound of laughter ringing down the long corridors, the solemn tones of the Tower bell striking the hour, the rich chords of the organ at Bene¬ diction. We who have lived at Manhattanville love every inch of it from its very foundations, fixed in the firm rock, to the cross on the Copper Tower, thrust high up into the heavens for all the world to see. We have tried to put as much as possible of all that Manhattanville stands for into this book. It is our gift to the Class of ’29, and we hope that whenever they look at it the memories of the little things we all love” will come back to their minds as swiftly and inevitably as the wind-blown drops of a shattered wave fall back again to the sea. We know that, however imperfectly we have made our gift, it will at least always bring their thoughts back to Manhattanville, rooted in the dim grey city, yet reaching beyond and above it towards ideals that are as high and fixed as the stars. m - 1 M.
