DEDICATION ' I Dora Margaret McElwain, who, as our adviser dur- ing the Freshman and Junior years at Glassboro, built within our class the foundations of cooperation, courage, and loyalty; who, as our friend, brightened our many tasks with her ever-ready wit and humor; and who, as our leader, is now setting for us a high goal of achievement by her grad- uate study at Columbia University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty- six, affectionately dedicate this twelfth volume of The Oak.

Education is not preparation for life, it it life. ' J 1 HIS truth, as stated by the eminent John Dewey, is the basie theory underlying the training at Glassboro State Normal Sehool. Since man learns by doing, every experience afforded him is a factor in making his life broader and more vital. It is with the spirit of joyousness, determina- tion, and wholehearted cooperation that Glassboro students grasp the opportunities which open for them new fields of activity, and which enable them to develop integrated personalities. This book is a record of experiences they have enjoyed. The more intimate reactions to these events may be learned only from the lips ot those who had the satisfaction of participating in them. In the hope that the charm of busy days spent at Glassboro may be recaptured through the pages of this book, the Staff presents The Oak of nineteen hundred thirty-six. FOREWORD
