Congratulations to the editorial staff and everyone who has in any way contributed to the publication of this Analysis. A broken chain is a hard one to repair at times and to present this, our student annual, which had so many years of success in the past, was no small task, calling for untold time and effort on the part of all concerned. Sometime a history of the classes that passed through our doors during the war may be written and record for all time the deeds and accomplishments of our boys in the strife and turmoil of War. We now have as our prime object the advancement of textile training for the future. Textiles of the future will call for a new vision in usefulness of products. The end use of fabrics must, and will, call upon all the resourc ,fulness possible in the utilization and manipu- lation of all kinds of fibers. ln the search of modern times for new ideas, new products, new uses for old products, textiles must not be overlooked. Textiles are a necessity, and man must have food, shelter and clothing for existence, and textiles have a place in both shelter and clothing. Textile fibers are incorporated in many of the shelter items, besides being in all three industrially-one item alone, conveyor belts, requiring skill to produce, as well as using quantities of raw materials. Textiles are used in all industries. No wonder we say that the Textile lndustry is our greatest industry and a real necessity. Fellow students, the field is broad, and the opportunity before us now is great. The Philadelphia Textile Institute, we believe, is a great school offering an opportunity to obtain a background for this expanding industry. We will grow and expand, and the near future has plans for new plants about to be started. , Good luck and success to the Class of 1948. I know we will hear of your accomplishments in the future. 0 R DEA RICHARD A. COX T I3

DIRECTOR BERTRAND W. HAYWARD The Philadelphia Textile Institute is your school. Whatever success you have will be partly because of its services to you. On the other hand, our success depends upon your integrity and resourcefulness, your ability and effort. Our futures are inextricably woven together and we cannot separate our interest in, and concern for, one another. As Director, l invite your efforts to improve yourself and to benefit your school. The Dean and l, as well as all other faculty members, stand ready to assist you and ask only that you first extend every effort to solve your own problem because it is through the strength each man gains in solving his problems that he becomes fit to climb what otherwise might be insurmountable obstacles ahead. Faculty and students have been cordial in their greetings to me, a new comer, and their cooperative approach to our school problems has been salutary. All of us have much to do. The part of each faculty member, of each student is important. lt is up to each of us to be alert to our problems and to apply our utmost effort toward securing an ever better organi- zation, educational and social, for our school. With continued and expanding cooperation with this office from faculty and students and with the excellent support which the able and far-seeing members of our Board of Governors and Foundation provide, and with an active alumni promoting our school, the possibilities for our advance are unlimited. Our plans for progress must be evolutionary not revolutionary and they will require 'constructive effort from us all. lt is obvious that the better our school becomes, the better the chances for success for all its graduates become. Consequently, even from a purely selfish viewpoint, eac'h of us must work with all the rest, conscientiously and cooperatively, so that in the fine new buildings that will be built there will be housed the best college spirit and the best educational program of any textile college in America. Our goal cannot be less than this. Together we must decide and act so that is can be no other. I2
