Echoes repeat the notes of a student’s life. They resound the new progress, the new ideals, and the new decade of the Teachers College. They whisper of new progress with the first “Old Missou” sung in Baldwin Auditorium—the first “Go, Bulldogs, Go” ringing to the rafters of Pershing Build¬ ing—the newly created Background Room—the initial charter presented to PEM Club. They boom of new ideals—the ideal student who searches for the truth and finds it—the ideal teacher who learns more in order to impart more—the ideal attitude that rewards must be really earned before they are granted. They repeat the confidence of the new decade— a decade which promises extended research and knowl¬ edge, deeper insight and understanding, freedom to strive toward higher goals. Echoes dwell within the depths of the individual. Every vibration of a progression or ideal is reflected as a distinct personality. The very soul is a chamber of echoes. All are captured and reverberated in the caverns of this ECHO which speaks as the true representative of the student body in the new decade.

Symbolizing the permanence of education are the silent, sturdy structures of the campus. Each monument is the re¬ flection of the dreams, discoveries, and dares of the students. Each cornerstone is in reality holding up not a mere mass of stick and stone but the very essence of learning. Every building from stately Kirk Memorial to the streamlined Bull¬ dog Kennels, from the sunlit campus walk to the soaring, silhouetted smokestack, mirror the strong foundation that each one forms as a basis of his structure of knowledge. 4
