New York University - Violet Yearbook (New York, NY)

Page 11 text:

Graduation is not such a serious event, nor is it a final leavetaking. Memories remain, and when they begin to stumble over a name, to fail in recalling sun- light on stone, there are records to strengthen them. Ticket stubs, cards, tran- script copies, old bulletins, dusty textbooks are only numbers and letters. A yearbook, however, embraces these and includes at least a mention of the intangibles. Scenes are pictured, feelings reported, history is bound: four years of an individual, a collective life are laid down. In that process of graduation, which is the closing of one door and the opening of another, a yearbook is a wedge in the door we have left. Along the strait ways and narrow paths which are adult life, it reminds us of when we were a class and young. It is that small space between the two doors, with the diplomas and robes and other souvenirs of a marked-off time pressed among the pages, to which we can return, although already in a fragile new half-century. If this book stands, our class remains.
