FOREWORD In the 1932 Templar the editors have endeavored to preserve by picture and by word, despite its imperfec' tions, the results of a colossal and forward spirit which has existed at Temple University since its founding by that great exponent of sincerity and righteousness, Rus' sell H. Con well. Many months of sincere effort have been expended in the compilation of this album in the hope that with the advancement of the University in its huge educa' tional program throughout the past year the class of 1932 may possess a yearbook reminiscent of this pro' gressive march. The love for our Alma Mater has been untold with the realization that those who are about to leave our beloved University hold in their hearts an affection for this noble institution which has bestowed on her chib dren the gifts of life most cherished by all.
