Foreword The Doric Greek theme, besides being full of possibilities in its use in the yearbook of a liberal arts college, represents an attempt to lift the work out of the realistic and modern into the fantastic heights of the epic — through the magic means of Greek temples, Greek gods, and Greek quotations. As the critical eye will observe, we omitted, in our desire to make this volume a living memorial, such things as crumbled temples and armless statues, at- tempting rather to re-create the effect of the on- ginal Doric, with all the simplicity that the word implies. To this end, then, Mr. Bowman’s splendid light-and-dark line pen sketches; and to this end the general structure of the book. It is needless to say that the editors realize that they have not actually created a great epic, but, in many respects, just another college year- book. We have only the sincere hope that our stu- dent public will derive from our classic attempt at least something of the fascination which we who have worked on it have experienced.

SIMPSON Professor of English Muhlenberg College
