The college campus should be a seed-bed of ideas. The exciting intellectual experiences that every student should enjoy ought to be shared with other stu- dents, thus creating a community of intellectuality that gives birth to new and better ideas profitable to all who have a part in them. Victor Hugo said, No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come. Obviously this implies that conditions must be at the explosive stage and that there must be a people who are ready in their preparation to implement the idea into action, for ideas must work through the brains and arms of men or they are no better than dreams, as Emerson has so well said. World affairs are not met and solved with immature or premature ideas, but rather with formulas that are tested and full-grown and that have evolved out of mature principles eternal in their nature. Your college seeks to provide for you the groundwork for the formulation of mature conclusions. Her objectives are fundamental and her aims conducive to sound judgment. Her hope rests in the harmonious union of people and ideas. Her destiny is lodged in the hearts of her sons and daughters who are able to interpret all new ideas as God-given revelations and who will implement them into action for the welfare of mankind. These are some of the elements of college life that you will remember most vividly and which will become freshened through the years of your experiences. Your college annual, covering a cross-section of college life, will be a con- stant reminder of your union with ideas, and will ingrain them more deeply into your hearts as you read and re-read — LEST WE FORGET.

The 1960 Lest We Forget staff has sought to assemble for you, the students of Union University, a book not only aimed at providing you memories of the spirit of Union but also aimed at instilling within you a desire to continually search for new ideas about people, places and things. From the bold, new cover to the picture of the Pushkin State Academic Drama Theatre in Leningrad, one may see represented by pictures, ideas and ideals of education. May you get the most from each page. This book is built around a simple, but honest, theme: Union, a uniting of men and ideas. The staff hopes that you will enjoy looking for pictorial representations of various men and ideas of men. Look at the various actions shown, the various types of architecture, the various interests. These are the heartbeats of Union . . . These are the heartbeats of existence. THE LEST WE FORGET STAFF editor G.
