This is the Roosevelt Story. This is a story we are proud to tell, one without pretense, dogma, or prejudice. This is a story of the courage, imagination, vision, and daring that created a monument in human relations. What was once considered impossible is now bold, vigorous real- ity. In an atmosphere of free and creative thinking, exist the competing points of view, however controversial, which have gone into making America great ... all the potentials capable of improving our society . . . all the requirements for making the American Dream an actuality. This yearbook does more than set down a mere pictorial record. We have represented here, as sincerely and skillfully as we could, the dream, the growth, and the final reality of this school. We think that as you leaf through these pages you will feel an upsurge of pride in this institution where all kinds of people, black and white people, yellow and brown people, can join in the fellowship and cooperation befitting brothers under the skin, where all kinds of men seek the truth that they may be free.

l AM HAPPY to have the opportunity to salute Roosevelt College of Chicago on the occasion of the publication of the first yearbook in its three year history. During the short period of its existence, Roosevelt College of Chicago has built a reputation for leadership not only in the scholastic field, but also in the much more important field of human relations. The policy of the school in maintaining no quota systems against any minority, race, or religion, has stamped it as an institution which is striving to carry out the highest ideals of a true democracy. The participation of students with the faculty in the college’s operation is worthy of high commendation. Your college bears the name of Roosevelt. Because Franklin Delano Roosevelt advocated and fought throughout his life for a truly free and democratic America, in which all citizens regardless of what race or creed they came from would have equal opportunity in this land of ours, the name of Roosevelt will always be identi- fied with the struggle for true democratic principles. It is hoped that Roosevelt College of Chicago will continue throughout the years to practice the liberal ideals which my father fought for and thus continue the Roosevelt tradition. Elliott Roosevelt
