To say, Great oaks from little acorns grow, Would be to use a figure tired and trite Ordinarily — but in our minds the phrase Breathes a new life, applied to Millikin: Our acorn freshmen dropped upon the campus Are smooth and green with too few curious sprouts Of intellect — too faintly touched by heat From suns of deeper thought, maturer friends. Leaving the windy, reckless boughs on high, They nestle close to soil of calmer hills, Of thicker tomes and longer words. The sapling Sophomore is shaky still bends low For each breeze, shakes his leaves importantly. But soon the roots are deeper than the tree Is high — exploring down, adventuring Into the dark and cool soil of minds Of men who nursed the growings of our culture. Our seniors represent the tree grown-up, Proud and strong — flared out for all to see, But not yet knarled with knots of experience — With but a hint of mellowness to follow. This rhythm of growth is patterned on our lawns The same, of life, is glimpsed within this book.

Their endless chain of activities helped to make the year of 1938-1939 at Millikin a successful one and their first sampling of collegiate life a tasty one. The men held in numbers over the women, 137 to 106; together they made up 34.5% of the student body. After the excitement of petitions and balloting, the votes cast revealed the election of Phil Lehman as president, Betty Hayes for vice president, Barbara Stoune, secretary, and Betty Bold as treasurer.
