TO THE MASTER CRITIC Paul M. Cousins Who has been content to stand behind the scenes; whose slight gesture of disap- proval, quiet word of encouragement and slow smile of confidence have inspired in us the desire to put into the playing of our roles the richness of beauty and of truth, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-eight, lovingly dedicate this volume of the Argo.

V All the world ' s a stage; And all the men and tvomcn only players. In a theatre of classical beauty on Shorter Hill the Class of ' 28 is enacting the drama of Life. Ahead of the players is Act III, which holds for us we know not what amount of success, of failure, of laughter, of heartbreak. Act II is finished. The action is complete and unalterable. Our faces are turned toward the future. But let us pause here to grasp a little more tightly those cruel lessons of experience, those invaluable memories of the past. It is to recall the clasp of an encouraging hand, the gay irresponsibility of youth, the deep understanding of friendship that this volume has been printed. And if, in days to come, some dark path is brightened by this brief review of our college life, our mission is fulfilled. We shall feel that we have, in a measure, repaid the great debt we owe our fellow players. PROLOGUE
