Unawares, per- sonnel and visitors of the college have co-operated in making it a true, unposed repro- duction of daily and nightly life in Texas ' youngest institution. Simultaneously with preparation of this, the twelfth volume of Texas Tech ' s student yearbook, candid photography has come into its own. Without losing the brilliant indi- viduality of the college planted and growing on the Mesa of the Matadors, this book has followed the 1937 trend in picture-making. Traditions of annual publication demand that some pictures be posed, but hardly a page is without one candid photograph. The campus is its studio. Its readers are its subjects. Portrayal of the true Texas Tech is its aim. It is the book with the eyes of myriad cameras. It is The Candid Camera Edition of LA VENTANA.

From an initial enrollment of 1,048 in 1925-26, the College this year reached a zenith of 3,000 in a single nine months ' term. Ahead of Texas Technological College loom prospects brighter than the fondest dreams of her fathers. Spiritually, she has attained an enthusiasm characteristic of her pioneer foundations. Materially, much remains to be anticipated. It is toward that further spi r- itual and mental development, toward a bigger and better Texas Tech, that The Candid Camera Edition of LA VENTANA is dedicated.
