St Louis University - Archive Yearbook (St Louis, MO)

OZZWOT This edition of the Archive, Volume XXXII, almost did not come into ex- istence. The university administration had set 2000 paid subscriptions as a prerequisite for subsidizing the year- book, but a two-weeks, drive in De- cember netted only about 600 subscrip- tions, and suspension of the publication was announced thereafter. Organized under the leadership of the Women's Sodality, an all-university committee of students launched a 'cRevive the Archive' subscription drive that ended in mid-January. While the goal of 2000 paid subscriptions was not achieved, a sufficient number was secured to insure publication of the Archive on a more modest basis than originally was planned. This, then, was the background of the project on which members of the yearbook staff embarked. Although all senior portraits and most group pictures had been taken prior to the second subscription drive, considerable valuable working time had been lost and the staff found itself involved in close race with time in its attempt to get the yearbook delivered before the end of the school year. The 1949 Archive is neither the smallest nor the largest yearbook ever published by the university. In the limited space at its disposal, the staff has endeavored to present the pictorial highlights of the 1948-49 school year without prejudice or bias. The com- pleted project is offered with pride and without apology. -THE EDITORIAL BCARD: MARTHA BOCK RANDOLPH MUDD BoB VIVIAN JACK WALSH
