FOREWORD SELDOM IN AFTER YEARS when college-grad meets coJJege-grad will come a joy com- parable to that they knew when as undergraduates they lived, worked, and played through a college generation of intense existence. To capture, for memory ' s sake, semester by semester a cross section of that living— with paper, with picture, with paste, and with printer ' s ink- is the duty of the college annual. For that purpose, La Encina has entity. Yet this year surges forth with greater motive. Fifty years ago, in 1887, the idea of Occi- dental College became an actual, tangible, attendable ideal. Conscious of that fact, this year ' s book flings off the convention which would bind its perspective and seeks to catch hints of the whole panorama as well as of the contemporarv, fast-passing year. To Dean Robert G. Cleland for the free use of his History oi Occidental College, un- published as this goes to press, the editor is much indebted. To Mr. Ward Ritchie, who gave so willingly of his time and genius in the designing of this book, the editor expresses his gratitude. Jack Webb, Editor
