k Kt Wk xx FCEDREWM Into thisethe quintessence of our college memoirse we have poured as into a mould, all the warmth of personal friendships, all the sacrifices of men and women to a higher sense of duty, and all the sense of sincerity to those of a broader knowledge of the world, who have guided our thoughts, and directed our charactersmwe desire to lay in the laps of the gods this gift of our total creative ability. 'JI Its pur- pose is to cast a new and fresh light on our colleg- iate days. It is to illumine that which we cherish so dearly. It is to give evidence that we pay homage to the Cloisters of our Collegwto its sincere spirit and its vast significance. Thus in an humble way to show our appreciation of those who have given us light, and who have helped us to rub away the disillusionments of youth and to weigh everything of our natures in the scales of time, to see if we are found wanting. 91 Here we have separated the chaff and the wheat, the 1a 11 gh t e r and the thoughtlessness, the tributes to mind and the tributes to body, the sense of beauty and feel of personality, the stepping stones to character and the spirits to endeavor. ijl This book is peculiarly our own. Yet we claim no superior Class egotism. It is to the cole lege spirit that this volume is in a sense dedicatedeto the one who in our eyes seems to be the living ember, who in his humble ways cherished that spirit of our Col- lege by trying to make it permeate the men and women who have come within i t s Cloisters and his con- XX i tact.
