u ECAUSE we are first we have had no tradition to bind us. We have had the opportunity to build a yearbook that will shov.r the college as if is and as we wish to remember it. Our ami has been to show all phases ol the college life, stopping for no division pages or lengthy descriptions, but making full use of our limited space by the use of large pictures and pointed comment. Accordingly, the 1939 Promenade takes you first over the campus to show the buildings, then into the administration to meet the college officers, into the departments to see the work as it is actually carried on. into the Jour classes to meet the students, into the extracurricular activities to see the clubs and the athletic teams, and finally into candid contact with details of the college life through a generous snapshot section.

DEDICATION IvIoST colleges are of necessity built backwards. Someone has a great ideal and attempts to put that ideal into brick, mortar, stone, students, and professors before he has accumulated an adequate supply of material wealth. Mr. George Pepperdine made it possible for George Pepper-dine College ro be built the unusual way. It is he who had the great ideal, the wealth, and the determination to build a college whore young people may prepare for a life work in a Christian environment. We love him because he has made it possible for us to be here. W© love him because he not only founded George Pepperdine College but threw his very life into the moulding of it. We love him because even today he maintains an abiding interest in every problem of the college and the people he finds here. It is with sincere appreciation and devotion that we dedicate to him this first George Pepperdine College Promenade.
