Attempting to be a good editor and being unable to resist a challenge, I delegated the responsibility of researching the Aurora ' s name to Dave Doolittle. Here is what he found. In our quest to perfect this year ' s issue of the Aurora, we reached back in time to uncover the genesis of the name Aurora. After wading through countless yearbooks, files of past editors, as well as mailing numerous questionnaires to former editors and business managers, we have met the challenge. On page four of the 1916 Aurora the following prologue appeared: In mythology Aurora is the daybreak or morning deified. She is the goddess of light. As she approaches, the at- mosphere is cool and refreshing; the song birds are singing their sweetest selections; the whispering breeze bathes the verdant foliage; and the flowers send forth their sweet aroma. She heralds life and joy, and inspires a sleeping world to renew its task with gladness. It seems fitting that this book should bear such a name as it goes on its mission to enlighten, enliven, cheer, and elevate the hearts of all who see its pages. It does seem fitting and proper that in a year where several cool and refreshing breezes have blown our way, and taken on unique exciting forms that the yearbook does bear such a name as Aurora. We have watched our college transform itself into a university seemingly overnight, and fulfill a dream that has lingered in the minds and very core of our founders ' souls for years. You too are transforming and embarking on journeys to fulfill dreams, so let the goddess of light consume your every thought; and allow the Aurora to enlighten, enliven and elevate your heart both now and in days to come.
