Pfiff ) i To make a book that is different without at the same time defying good taste is the aim and ambition of all who have held the position of Sou ' Wester Editor. Whether the aims and purposes of this year ' s staff have been realized remains for the ultimate judge, the reader, to say; and it is to him, not to the artist and not to the literary critic, that the 1939 Sou ' Wester has been directed. To the fresh charm of college life which in the restless youth stirs exciting dreams of things to come — which in later years returns again and again in captivating memories of exciting events, youthful blunders, unspoiled friend- ships — to that unique glamour is this volume dedicated. It is with great pleasure that we present this book to you. You may turn on for the 1939 Sou ' Wester. THE EDITOR

JOHN WILLIAM BERGIN, Ph.B., D.D. President of Soiifhucsferu University A Message from the President: In a recent address the President of John Hopkins University asks a ques- tion: Why do young folk go to college? Then he answers: First, to find out what they ' ve got; second, to develop it. And might he not have added, third, to learn to relate it to the solution of problems of the world in happy co- operation with his fellow man? This is the work that Southwestern University has endeavored to do in in- dividual education for one hundred years. Many are the leaders in America in both church and state that have received their education here. May I congratulate the student body of 1938-39 on being the Peer of any student body ever to have attended Southwestern University? John William Bergin
