This is State College as seen through the camera lens and described by the pens of the 1957 Swastika. Some people have likened the editing of an an- nual to bringing up a child. Everyone likes them if they are good, has worlds of advice on how to bring them up, but no one is willing to take the time to correct them if they are bad. Such would have been the case this year, but for the large and compe- tent staff that gave freely of their time and effort in trying to publish a superior yearbook. For many of the staff this edition was a training for future years. I can only say, that if their learning was in propor- tion to their work, the A M campus can look for- ward to a series of progressively better yearbooks in the years to come. It was a distinct pleasure to have been privil- eged to direct them.

The tradition and the material entity of New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts have grown through the years because of the selflessness and generosity of the faculty, the student body, and the alumni. In 1908, the students of A M erected the fountain which stands south of the bus stop at the eastern end of the U -drive- When 1937 rolled around, another was constructed near the Home Economics Building. Of course the students didn ' t have to sacrifice the time and effort necessary to build the little campus land-marks. But they did! These people are a representa- tive example of many who have worked so hard to push old AdM up the ladder. Driving toward Las Cruces from the south, the portion of our college visible before all others is the tower of the football stadium-the stadium whose construction was financed by generous alums. Over the years since the founding of New Mexico State College in 1889, there has been no lack of hands ready and willing to attack the labor of making the college a better place in which to live and study. Many of these contributors are unremembered, unthanked, nameless. But the campus and its traditions stand as their monument. And every brick in every building, every club charter and grant of funds bears the marks of their fingers. Even when the buildings, and charters, and bank-notes crumble, the monument to selfless- ness will live on-for the ultimate creation and final product of these many works is the student well instructed in the arts of usefulness and good citizenship.
