By pictures and Words we have hoped to present, in some part, the essence of that which is Simmons. As we approached this task we found that it was much more diflicult than we had ever thought, realizing how inexpressible and really indehnable the many-faceted experience of our four-year relationship with Simmons has been . . . and that its meaning exists and Ends expression only in the personal response of each individual. ln form, therefore, Mic has chosen that ol a very special type of reference book-a source book of memories and a sort of college textbook from which we may review our educational experiences. Because the meaning of our four years at Simmons incorporates the value of experiences in many realms, we have organized our book in four sections, identiliying them with familiar sources of information, knowledge and meanings. We hope that this book will be a source of pleasure and value to which you may always refer to find the meaningful aspects of college life, and a re-view of many happy memories. eaa+Qf-in-chaef Z 45 Associate Editor 0A OAML CQ77, 'I41'lL', 1955 6
