FOREWORD THE WORTH OF a university may be measured with many yardsticks. It may be noted for its athletes, an outstanding de- partment, its geniuses, its book writers. At Stanford there is no one measure. It does not excel in a single field, but year after year turns out well-rounded personalities. Stanford men and women are livable. They wear well. Conservative, as a whole, but well versed in the art of living. We hope that this book reflects this attitude. We would have it readable, not as a brilliant novel, but plain and simple, as an old legend. Its cover, too, was selected with the thought that ten years hence it would still grace one ' s library fittingly. A college year book is often the only album one has of his last school days, the only record of, perhaps, the most eventful years of his life. Life-long friendships that started in dormitories; the one girl or boy was met in such familiar places as the Libe, the Quad, the Cellar. So it is with a somewhat wistful reverence that we complete the book and see that it is bound. For we know that the book is not made of paper and ink but of life and memories. And in binding it we seal within it a part of ourselves.

D f D I C T I fl Among the treasured things we take with us from a university, perhaps the most treasured and val- uable, is the little bit of personality we take from each great personage we meet. No one can meet and know Dean George B. Culver without coming away a finer person. Brusque, almost impolite at times, never attempting to be sophisticated, Dean Culver handles delicate situations with a finnesse and understanding that leaves the matter solved. Emerson stated it well when he said, I like a man who does things. Dean Culver has always done things, never caring who got the credit. He was graduated from Stanford in I 897 and later got an L.L.D. at George Washington University. He came here in 1 92 I . In seventeen years he has seen many boys come and go. As Dean of Men he has helped institute more needed changes than we have space to recount. He helped bring about the Student Co-operative. He has been an ardent supporter of the plan with regard to the housing of lower division men. The dignity of the freshmen has always been upheld by the Dean. Mr. Culver is a familiar figure at track meets. Before coming to Stanford he was track coach at Los Angeles High School in addition to being the head of the Zoology Department. His hobby, which is indica- tive of the gentleness of the man, is bird study. There is one quality which has no name, but sets its possessors far above the crowd. That is the fac- ulty of not taking oneself too seriously. Dean Cul- ver ' s sense of humor is of this subtle blend. He has endeared himself more than he is aware. We are proud to have known this man and dedicate this book to him.
