Everything that interests man interests him, in music, poetry, art, beauty, joy of living, work, play and sport, consider his prints, etchings and engravings so beautifully culled and exquisitely set: his col- lection of hymnology of all ages and tongues: his own and adept settings, one of which at least may not falter in showing its head with Bowring, Jones, Watts or Wesley for elevation and breadth and loftiness of phrase beginning thus: 'Behind the horizon's misty skirt, Beyond the melancholy sea, There lies a city, glory girt In 1ight's immensity- Even today he has on manuscript near to completion, a labor of years and for love only, a complete, dignified and learned translation of the entire New Testament from the Greek into the vernacular. Still with hand on the plow, hearty in his work, lilled with the elan of a divine enthusiasm, he looks into the future with assured hope and high courage.

DEQVAIN-SA f 'Q' ' 3 ll if ll F OREWORD Because of the joy of creating, and be- cause of the inspiration given by studying the life of Dr. M. W. Stryker, we, the class of 1928, undertook the compiling and publishing of this book. Knowing that Dr. Stryker graduated from R. F. A. and knowing his intimacy with schools throughout his life, we have endeavored to use our knowledge in making the art motif and in constructing the theme for this book. lt is indeed an honor to be allowed to use this man's life as a background, a foundation and an inspiration for our an- nual. The class of '28 leaves this book as a reminder for future years, in days when this year would otherwise be dim. A Q- AY x. 7
