Truman State University - Echo Yearbook (Kirksville, MO)

It has been said that a book's foreword must necessarily be either an explanation of the contents or the author's apology. Years of publication have standardized the purpose of year- books; they need no explanation. The name indicates that such books record a year's work. Whether or not this yearbook needs an apology can be determined by how well it fulfills its purpose. Unavoidably some activities have been omitted and some have received more attention than others which may be of equal importance. We present the 1941 Echo without explanation or apology. It is your book; it is for you to judge whether it be good. 14

Dedication For his quarter of a century's service to the college as a member of the Board of Regents, we dedicate the 1941 Echo to Judge J. A. Cooley, president of the Board of Regents. Judge Cooley has known all of the presidents of the college and has worked with three of them. Dr. John R. Kirk, Dr. Eugene Fair, and Dr. Walter H. Ryle. In dedicating this book to Judge Cooley, we are, in reality, dedicating it to service, for few men have served the college better or for so long a period of time as he. Judge Cooley, to you, and to all men who, like you, are willing to lay aside their personal ambitions for service to an institution, we dedicate this book 13
