those who made the events and to those who en- joyed participation in them, we looked for an appropriate form in which to present them. We felt that the traditional sections into which Ober- lin yearbooks have been divided would serve our purpose best. We would gather pictures and in- formation to be arranged into the sections of the book devoted to classification, housing, athletics, and organizations and activities. Within these groupings we believed we could present our material with the continuity we deemed necessary in any book. With continuity as our goal, we found it advisable to depart from some of the methods followed by editors of other year- books. We further divided our sections, or books, into two parts, placing written accounts of the year at the beginning on book style paper, and following this text with related pictures on conventional year- book paper. Through this alternation of written and pictorial records, we wove our story of the year, attempting to relate the activities of all groups and individuals to each other to show the spirit of unity which we believe underlies the diversified undertakings of members of the Ober- lin College community. Another significant departure from traditional procedure took place in the House section. In place of individual stories of each house, we de- cided to substitute one long article which would trace briefly the history of the Oberlin residential plan, showing how the present housing system was developed. Thus, we believe, we have pre- sented a more complete picture of the plan today, together with indications of proposed changes for the future. Our writing style we have modified also in an effort to emphasize the importance of facts and of names. At first blush, much of the written mate- rial may appear to be little more than descriptions of occurrences already familiar to students this year. This style was adopted, however, with a view to the future when, we believe, readers will appreciate accounts of incidents long forgotten. Unfortunately, there is necessarily an unbal- anced stress upon activities of the iirst semester, while many second semester functions have been dealt with brieiiy or have been left out altogether. Early deadlines brought about this sit- uation. As an example, no details could be included concerning the Forum Board labor - management conference, since def- inite plans had not been made when the Forum article was submitted to the printers. 'I'he result we have tried to achieve might be termed a history based not on scholarly re- search into the causes and details of events, but rather on a selection of the most exciting, the most stimulating, and the most memorable happenings from the written and verbal reports of those for whom the book has been prepared. In addition, we have supplied an interpretation of those same happenings in the light of what we believed to be the spirit behind all of them. For the interpretation of events we have had to fall back on our own judgment in our attempt to see in today's activities a continuation of the history and traditions of Oberlin College.
