L’Envoi Go, little book, with out blessings thick upon thee! Lest we forget, keep thou before our eyes each little spire and gable of the house of memories we are building that we may rejoice e'en though wistfully, to see it grow mellower and more beautiful in the perspective of the ivy-crowning years. The more serious history of the University is elsewhere writ; writ in the achievement of her Rons; writ in the lives they lived and the deaths they died for God, for Country and for fellow-man. And if Alma Mater sometimes seems to exult in their proivess, who, knowing them and her, will blame her for her pride? But, thou, dear little book, hast another des-tiny, a niche to fill all thine own. Thine it is to gather into a nosegay the wayside flowers of student life; the jokes we played, the songs we sang, the thrills of the campus, the joys of dance and social and prom. All these, little though they be in themselves, will tinge the twilight memories of the years yet to be. And if we sometimes sound a deeper note, if wisdom should at any time creep in to shadow our mirth, that too, dear little book, is Life. If Homer could nod, Aristotle jibe and Shakespeare pun, thy readers, dear little bonk, will not deal too hardly with thine infrequent lapses into sense. Thine editors have loved thee, and have found it a labor of love to cull the posies that bloomed in the garden of college life; may thy readers love thee, too.
