Eclucaiion Violei' T LAST the wish of the many School of Education graduates has been fulfilled, and that wish was to have a year book to which they might look at in years to come to bring back old thoughts and many incidents of the days they spent at college. What was at first expected to be a failure by many, turned out to be a huge and overwhelming success and this success was brought about only by hard work and many, many hours of this hard work to change failure to the bright success that the Education Violet has attained. It is quite a different thing for an editor and his editorial board to walk into a well-organized system of an established year book than it is to set the machine going and keep it going after having one setback after another. The work may have been made considerably easier if it was the wish of the editor and his assistants to repeat the features of any number of other year books, but it was the choice of the men and women of the board to work untiringly and unselfishly so that every bit of the book would be original. This is probably the appropriate place in which to mention the wonderful work and efforts of Murray W. Goldenberg, the first editor-in-chief of the first volume of the Education Violet, for, as it was stated before, it was not only necessary to organize his assistants but it was also necessary that he obtain the co-operation of every student in the school. Now that a function, or we will say a vital point in any school has begun it is necessary to instill in those depended upon by the editor to carry on the work, that at one time was prophesied by some to be a failure, and if possible try to raise the standard set by the 1931 Education Violet, to unlimited heights. It has been expressed by the select few who have seen the features of the Educational Violet before they have been assembled that never before has any new year book come within the calibre that this book has attained. We hope that the students will appreciate this bit of work for which the members of the staff have had hours of tiring but enjoyable labor, the many setbacks, which were put to rout, and the handicaps under which all of this was carried on. On the other hand, the editor-in-chief and his board of editors wish to express their thanks to the many students who took Part in the various activities in the school so that news was created which, after all, goes to make up this fine annual and we hope that it will meet with the approval of our select student body. As does the future Ed Violet editorial staff wish for the same student spirit that it has received this year and that the future Educational Violet will push on to reach greater heights. 162

Murray W. Goldenberg HE Year Book Board for the 1931 Education Violet was not satisfied with medioc- rity and so when the plans for the book were made, Murray Goldenberg was chosen editor. Nor was Murray satisfied with mediocrity--witness, The Education Violet for 1931. His experience on the Varsity boxing team had taught him how to make every blow tell, and he attacked the problem that arose in connection with the produc- tion of the school's first year book with the same gusto. He was determined to lay foundations for the future volumes, so that the task of coming editors would be made easier. He had the wisdom to welcome suggestions and the willingness to cooperate with his fellow-editors. He created interest in the undertaking, promoted the circula- tion, solicited advertising, organized a staff and produced a book which may well serve as a pattern for succeeding Violets. He has merited our respect for having executed it in a way to do him and the school credit. The 1932 Violet, to which he is going to give advisory assistance, will profit by what he has already done. Energetic, ambitious, willing, careful, far-seeing-Murray is all of these. It is not hard to read his horoscopeg he will be a success in other things as he has been in this. 161
