PRESIDENT JOHN C. HESSLER We Juniors are sending you forth, Millidek of 1937, radiant with newness: pictures, paper, print and cover, as a hostage of memory. You are as new as the experiences of this college year. In corridors and classrooms students and teachers will pore over your pages, scanning the snapshots, tallying the list of activities, pigued a little, perhaps, at some of the jibes, chuckling with guiet glee over some hit that scored or some guess that failed. In due time we ' ll take you home to father and mother and our admiring relatives. Then (if seems impossible now) you ' ll gradual- ly find yourself edged aside into some seguestered corner and neglected. We may almost forgot your existence. But sooner or later: ten, twenty years from now, there will come a day when something will impel us to dig in the place of buried treasurer. We ' ll rediscover you. No laughing group will be on hand to point the barbs or ex- plain the allusions. We ' ll turn your pages gently, lovingly, each of us — alone. And you will bring them back to us — our schoolmates of this year. Again we ' ll hear their voices and see their faces: the serious ones, the happy-go-lucky ones, the sad ones, those who went gently through college and those who forced themselves through against great odds and by sheer determination. You will then work within us your subtle magic. You will strangely sharpen the dulled edges of memory. We shall live over again the year that is now past. 7
