Foreword Fargo, N. Dak.: The purpose of an annual is not to glorify itself or its staff, not to stand as a lasting trib- ute to the artist's eye or to the copywriter's pen nor to be a monu- ment to the skill of a printer. Rath- er it is to set on pages and bind within a cover, the life of a college during a certain span of time. Feeling that our readers treasure most and will remember longest those aspects of their college lives that smack of the informal rather than the formal, we have insofar as possible without overstepping the boundaries of yearbook ethics at- tempted to make this volume a natural, undistorted record for the year 1941-42. The theme is not really a theme at all but a device which we hope will help to refresh in your memory this year of your college life and the far-reaching implications its events were to have on our future lives. The newspaper headlines found throughout the book not only give a re- view of many events that were of great interest to us but they characterize the span of time this book covers as one in which each and every one of us became increasingly aware of news arising outside our small circle of existence that was destined to effect our very way of life. We should like to hope that within the covers of this book is shown in some degree the transi- tion of a school in days of peace to one dedicated to do its part in assuring our nation of victory in this greatest of all man's wars.
