The linen may be only spotted here and there and may actually be a very respectable wash for such a growing and energetic city but the fact that it is being washed in public gives the impression abroad that it is too foul to be handled indoors. Chicago has undoubtedly been injured by this attitude. At times the tendency was to present the city at its worst rather than at its best. The result has been an unjustified lack of confidence in the city not only on the part of outsiders but even on the part of its own citizens. This lack of faith may Well have stood in the way of an accomplishment which a self-confident city could have achieved. ' p The attitude of the City of Chicago is not the attitude of the Syllabus. In the pictures taken 'f in this book every student has been at some pains to look his best. The views of the buildings i have all been taken from the most effective angles. Snapshots of athletic events have been taken T at the high moments of the game. To this eigtent the Northwestern University which is represented il in the Syllabus is Northwestern University at its best and it is this Northwestern which strangers l will see when looking over this book and which students will remember when in later years they F turn back to this pictorial record of their college days. . L 4 For this reason the Syllabus is a presentation of the ideals of the University as well as of its actualities. There is a force in these ideals and their presentation here makes them more easily rl accomplished. Beautiful pictures of existing buildings lead to a pride in the campus which is an 1 l insurance against anything architecturally unsound in the future. Snapshots of touchdowns may Well inspire some future football team. So from its very attitudes of optimism and idealism the l Syllabus is playing its part, and an important part, in achieving the greater Northwestern toward l l which all elements of the University are working. ly It is to be hoped that the undergraduates of the University will always follow the methods of l Q the Syllabus which concentrate attention on accomplishment and idealism rather than the practices T' il of the City of Chicago which prefers to publish its self-criticism to its own disadvantage. l ADMINISTRATION Twenty-one Wil i . - ---- -.

VERNON R. Loucxzs President nf the Alumni Assocralunz Upon the completion of their college course Northwestern students graduate into real privilege. Every alumnus of the University is presumed to have, with every other alumnus, an equal share of responsibility for Northwestern and an equal privilege of service in her interest. If a student has entered into the spirit of the institution and has really become a Northwestern man or a Northwestern woman there can be for him no thought that graduation severs his relations with his alma mater. Furthermore, Northwestern alumni prize their relation to each other. Every year a larger proportion of the great alumni body becomes actively and loyally related to the organized interests of Northwestern. In this respect the Northwestern University General Alumni Association is a conspicuous leader among the alumni organizations of colleges and universities in mid-America. The constituency of the University has come to be one of the finest and most potent fraternities. No other alumni body is better organized for effective service. The alumni interests of every department of the University are fully represented in the General Alumni Association. The assoc- iation is represented on the board of trustees of the University and the Trustees are represented on the board of directors of the Alumni Association. Not only is there adequate organization for ellective service, there is a fine harmony of purpose and a cordial spirit of cooperation. The Association also has most commoclious and adequate quarters with the most complete office equipment and a full staii of workers trained and experienced in organization work. There is nothing lacking to give full force to the interests and loyalties of Northwestern alumni. Students in all departments should look forward to coming into a very vital relation with their university upon their graduation and to earning the right to count themselves Northwestern men and women, a right that may 11013 be merely assumed but must be earned.
