The distinctiveness of a university lies in its abiding traditions. Students of Ohio Wesleyan can take pride in the rich and mean- ingful traditions which have matured with the university since its foundation ninety-eight years ago. The Sulphur Spring, chapel service, the senior bench, fraternity and sorority life- all these traditions have prevailed down through the years, and each, in its own way, occupies a permanent niche in the hearts of both active students and graduates. ln l942 Ohio Wesleyan University will celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of its founding. With this gala centennial year approaching, every student is becoming more and more acutely aware of . . . uw jrajifiond . . . which are so important in the institution we love. The purpose of Le Bijou for l94O is to presents visual indications of the advancement of Ohio Wesleyan University and its tradi- tions since l8-42, and thus to stimulate an already centennial conscious student body. The gradual expansion of Ohio Wesleyan since its founding makes an interesting survey. To portray certain phases of this growth, we have arranged the sections of the book in a chrono- logical order by dates according to the time of establishment of each department or group on the campus. For example, the faculty section begins with the Latin and Greek Department, which was first introduced in l84-4, and ends with the Social Ethics Department, which was introduced in l93,l. All informa- tion has been compiled by the staff from university catalogues and other sources. Realizing that an annual is primarily a book of photography, we have employed our theme on the sub-division pages and through pictures have contrasted traditions of the past with the same phases of Wesleyan life today. Traditions do not always apply to antiquated and aged aspects of college life. ln our Candid Calendar snapshot section we have strived to portray the characteristic events of each month of this year, which, in themselves, may become lasting traditions and may be followed by succeeding generations.
