FGREWORD There is drama attached to the progress of an educational institution-the drama of dreams realized only after long toil and struggle. On the stage before our eyes passes the long line of Harris men. Their march is accompanied by music in a slow, steady crescendo that is ever-increasing in purity and intensity of tone. At first the parade is a halting gloomy one. But as the years roll on, the tempo grows faster and the step of the Harris men becomes quicker. A reason for all these changes exists. In the beginning the varsity magazine was aristocratically formless. Its policy was the Senior policyg it meant nothing to the main body of the school. Then men with ideas and hopes began to shape a definite policy. The magazine was to have more significance for Harris. Now their ideas have been al- most realized. The trend to make the Crim- son and Gold truly representative of the school has been heartily endorsed by the staff this semester. We have labored dili- gently to maintain our stand, and we have endeavored to add a worthy stage in the metamorphosis through which the book has been passing. We have sought to create a Crimson and Gold which will be remembered in Harris history for having reached one of the very highest notes of accomplishment in the crescendo of progress, and which will take a proud place in the parade of Harris enterprises. page two
