Through the years there have been many changes in the life of Marion College. In 1922 the Yearbook’s name was changed ro The Hatchet symbolizing a break from the past. Again this year there was a break from the past. With our new administration, new rules, and new ideas, we began a year which will never be forgotten. The autumn brought forth frantic freshmen wandering about in a new and different world and returning students amazed at the changes made since the end of their freshman year. Autumn slipped into winter and again the students were faced with changes in Marion College life. There were many surprises which the freshman found in store for them.

THE COLLEGE And though you be done to death, what then? If you battled the best you could; If you played your part in the world of men. Why, the Critic will call it good. Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce, And whether he ' s slow or spry, It isn’t the fact that you ' re dead that counts, But only, how did you die?” —E. V. COOKE
