VOLUME TWENTY • Anniversary edition...the culmination of years of struggle, the flowering of the combined experiences of previous publications, the occasion for a stronger effort even though its resources seemed to have reached the limit of extension... such is the call that every staff answers with the best of which it is capable. • Twenty years at Marquette... twenty years of struggle to nurture, develop and maintain a yearbook that is worthy of the University. With an insignificant beginning in the spring of 1915, the Hilltop was scarcely established when the Great War brought a cessation of activities and called many of the students into the service of their country. For three years the annual struggled along, threatened continuously with extinction, but supported by staffs that determined to keep life in the infant publication intrusted to their keeping. As the country emerged from the throes of war a new life began to pulse through the University and a memorial edition of the yearbook was published, dedicated to the Marquette men who had sailed for France never to return. Unprecedented success greeted the Hilltop, drawing it from the shadow of defeat and starting it on an era of constant advancement. • Many years of successful development followed until, at the end of the decade, an economic depression threatened to suspend College activities as thoroughly as the War had done. Continuing its work toward a more perfect volume, the yearbook has striven for the same standard of quality despite falling circulation and loss of advertising. • If Hilltop XX reflects these two decades of progress, if it shows evidence of having profited from experiences of the past, if it portrays the continual uplifting and expansion of the University, if it upholds the ideals and principles that have guided Marquette for over fifty years, if it truthfully reflects the spirit of the students, if it merits the slogan, It's twenty years better ...then the existence of the Hilltop of 1934 is justified and its obligations to school and alumni fullfilled.

MARQUETTE • Marquette assumes its position along the skyline of Milwaukee during the fall when verdure disappears from city trees, and University lowers lose their shading of summer foliage. This view, taken from the summit of the Medical School lower, reveals a panorama seldom observed. Looking eastward toward the downtown district and the lake, Cesu church surmounted by its triple spires stands prominently among Milwaukee's tallest buildings. Tall days come early to Marquette and with them a noticeable premonition of impending winter. AU T U M N
