. . .dedication . , . to a freshman in the presidents chair at Sacramento Junior College, this book is dedicated. To him, in these times at crisis, three thousand students owe o vote ot thanks tar tar-sightedness. Realizing the importance ot our national defense program, Dr. Rutledge has inaugurated terminal courses in training tor detense industries, courses that will enable students to serve a nation arming ina world at war. Vocational courses, however, are not Dr. Rutledge's only concern, tor, to him, campus education consists at three interlocked circles: a big one, the basic lower division cultural courses, the two-year occu- pational courses, and highly skilled training tor defense industries, fts tor student relationship, despite a no-cutting rule, strict park- ing limits, and a no-archway-loitering sign, Rutledge became popular with students through his friendly, casual manner and his genuine interest in their attairs, Rutledge's college background is that ot a small mid-western school: Central College, Missouri. Securing his Ph. D. at the Univer- sity ot Calitomia, he became interested in administrative work. l-le has been a dean ot boys, a district school superintendent, principal at a business school, and, just betore he was appointed successor to the late l. B. l.iIlard, Director ot Vocational Education in the Oak- land schools. ln dedicating the l9fll Pioneer to Dr, Rutledge, we also dedicate it to a new era ot junior college education . . . education tor the next titty years ot democracy.

. . . introducing Out of the big fishbawl of campus names we, the editors, drew two students at random, believing fondly that a blindfold choice of any student might be as essentially typical of his fellows as the result ofa Gallup poll. Two out of three thousand we might call by the fictitious names: Barbara Arch and John Jaysee. Barbara Arch might wear a pin on o soft furry angora sweater and play bridge inthe arch and cafeteria, then, too, she might work on NYA, belong to student service clubs, and make Phi Theta Kappa, But in reality she is both, She is Yvonne Petersteiner. ' John Jaysee might be a thick-neclced football scholarship boy who takes a drop just before finals, or an art scholarship student, doing school signs for expense money and dreaming of his scrawl in the corner ofa magazine cover. Actually, he is a bit of both. l-le is John Mills.
