CHIS volume of SIGHTS AND INSIGHTS, published under the direction of the Senior Class of Salem College, at Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is a Spirit of Progress Book, and the staff has attempted to carry out this idea, as represented by Salem College and the community, in every possible detail. Each Senior has had the privilege of selecting a Salem alumna as a sponsor, whose picture appears on the same page with that of the Senior. Thus she has, in a way, ded- icated her book to one alumna, in particular, joining past and present Salem girls. There is much of the past in this book, old pictures, and old costumes, most of which in Salem Girls are family heirlooms, some of them dating back to the early nineteenth century ; and the art staff has used for its in- spiration the relics found in the Salem Museum. The Salem History contained in this volume is the first com- plete authentic history of the city, tracing the development of Salem College along with the growth of Salem and Winston. It is based on historical records, and involve extensive research. The present is represented by Salem Sights, and Salem to Winston-Salem, which shows the newest of the city buildings and the corresponding old ones. There is only one touch of the future, and that is the map of Salem Campus in the Future. The staff of SIGHTS AND INSIGHTS wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation to Miss Adelaide Fries, Miss Bessie Pfohl, Mr. Douglas Rights, and Mr. J. R. Boiling, all of Winston-Salem, N. C. ; and Mrs. E. T. Harmon and Miss Elva Blair, of High Point, N. C. ; and others, for their valued assistance in the preparation of the Spirit of Progress Book.
