- • «»■— ' - RUFUS CARROLLTON HARRIS, now in his second year as president of the University, began an immense and ambitious program of expansion which has already be- gun to show results, not only in an incredibly improved physical plant and a more able and progressive faculty, but in the spirit of progress and foresight which accom- panies it. Under the guidance of this quiet, friendly, and capable executive, Tulane is well on its way to a future even greater than its illustrious past.

A Word From the President As you look through this book you will see what a group of students at an American University did this year in various activities outside of the classroom. It should be fairly representative of this decade, of this youth, and of a por- tion of its pursuits. The successful college career consists of an earnest, serious-minded devotion to curricular pursuits, an identification with construc- tive extra-curricular campus forces, the development of wide and varied in- terests, the formation of lasting friendships, and the display of a friendly cooperative spirit in all campus relationships. This, being a college community, is a community of comparatively idealistic people, and these people hope that college life in America will continue along the line it has set and of which Tulane University has been representative for over a century. I hope those graduates of Tulane who look through this book in future years may know that campus activities are following the same pat- tern and that a foreign political ideology has not changed that pattern or wiped out that campus for insisting that the right of man is freedom — whether he be given it or not. This year has seen our continued growth and progress in moral, intellectual, and physical stature, and while we thus set down what has passed we hope to insure the future. RuFUS Carrollton Harris
