Q DEDICATIC This, the thirty-fourth volume of the KARUX, is dedicated with heartfelt affection to HENRY BUCHER SWOOPE, of the Class of 1900. As a student in a previous generation, his record was very fine. He stood upon the honor roll. He was a star debater, and he took interest in all forms of athletics. As a leader in undergraduate days, his influence was strong, unquestioned, and always for good. As the President of the Alumni Council, his energy has been constant, and his advice wise and helpful. The growing loyalty of the alumni to the Academy has been due as much to his efforts as to those of any other person. As a member of the Board of Regents, his counsel and gifts have been heartening to every friend of the school. As an alumnus, he has abiding faith in the Academy and what it stands for in the world of education. He sent four of his sons to be enrolled here as a proof of that faith. As the donor of our carillon of fortyfthree bells, he has made the largest gift received by the institution in its history of ninety-one years. The Chapel itself is very beautiful, but until the carillon and the organ were placed therein, it had no voice. The sweet-toned bells, which will be a glorious memorial to Mr. Swoope and his family, will sing their way into the heart of every Mercersburg boy enrolled here through hundreds of years to come. Everyone connected with the school, and the entire countryside for many miles, owe a debt to Mr. Swoope which they cannot repay. This volume is affectionately dedicated in his honor.

FCREWQRD HFILLED with events which happen only once in a lifetime, the year 1926-1927 has been a notable one in the history of Merc- ersburg. To record these significant occur- rences, therefore, has been the aim of the 1927 KARUX. But it has tried to do more than thatg it has tried to produce in words and in pictures the more intimate life of the school, incidents which are too often crowded into oblivion by more stirring ex- periences. 'jlSeen through the mist of fast-increasing years, youth assumes a beauty and a strength which keep us young. When you feel that you are forgetting, therefore, turn the pages of this volume and live again your days at Mercersburg. ifqff'
