All THIS Blllllt lll THE HXTIHE I IIIISTRY DEDICATION With sincere appreciation and admiration, we the Class of l95O, respectfully dedicate our yearbook to the Textile Industry. To the casual passerby, the Philadelphia Textile Institute is represented by a group of beautiful buildings, complete in every physical sense. Structurally, their design is pleasing to the eye, and the campus is as attractive as any in the Phila- delphia area. But, what the passerby does not see are the opportunities and the abundance of knowledge that is here for the student seeking a textile education. They do not see the years of dreaming and planningg the time and effort required to make these dreams a reality, the unselfish sacrifices of a group of men who provided the backbone for this ultimate achievementg nor do they see the generosity of an industry which provided the financial means. History has been made, for nowhere else in this country is there a school devoted exclusively to textile educatiqn which is privately owned and operated. As so aptly spoken in our Directors opening day address, that while education is cer- tainly a legitimate function of the state, it is not safe, desirable, nor reasonable that it should be a state monopoly. The Phila- delphia Textile Institute is private enterprise in education and in these days private enterprise needs aggressive support wherever it may be found. Within these buildings, although glistening in their new- ness, there already dwells tradition and an awakening of old ideals of free education. We, the graduating class, cannot help but feel that the time, effort, and money so generously given by the textile industry, is indicative of their faith in our sincerity of purpose and ultimate worth as students. Through these past years we have been enriching ourselves with the stores of knowledge set forth in the classroom and now We are ready and anxious to go forth. Ready to make our con- tributions as textile engineersg anxious to become a functioning part of the textile industry. We are firm in the conviction that we, the Class of 1950, will give a good account of ourselves, not only in the eyes of each other, but to the men and the industry whose foresight has given us the opportunity of obtaining the world's finest textile education. 9
