6 X r l FOREWORD Along the California coast, in green glades overlooking the seo, on rolling hills, windswept and cool, on arid, parched plains, or amber-colored slopes in a setting of wild flowers, the traveler may chance upon one of the old mission buildings. Ponder a moment the primitive building methods, the inaccessibility of materials, the unskilled, undisciplined workmen,-and the ancient walls become a triumph of construction. But the spirit displayed by the early fathers in the settlement of these California missions was really greater than the courage necessary to carry through their ambitions. Hardships and heartrending experiences through which they had to pass were in the end rewarded by the peaceful and enjoy- able existence which come to them for all these efforts extended. Such is life. As we struggle with our studies, we, too, meet with pitfalls and disappointments, but we must carry an as did the founders of these missions. As the fathers were rewarded, so will we meet with success. The path is not always sunshine and roses and though dark clouds may at times shadow disappointments and rough going ahead, we must be courageous and determined to carry on.
