yfl RKANSAS has earned a deserved reputation for the beauty of its campus. Stately and beau¬ tiful buildings stand among ancient oaks and sturdy evergreens. Winding walks, dappled with shade, snake across a green carpet. Stone walls, lush terraces, concealing shrubbery; all make this one of the beauty spots of the country. Strangers are awed with the naturalness of it. They may sit beneath the shady trees and gaze about the surrounding country. In each di¬ rection lies rolling hills and thick woodland. To the east one sees the bold sides of Sequoyah, topped by a huge white cross. To the south are hills and rich fields, Greenland in the distance. Westward the gaze goes out over the stadium to more hills dotted by professors’ homes. And to the north rolling land laid out in patches of corn and abundant orchards. Indeed, The Hill, rich in beauty itself, is the observation point for a land of beauty. What student has not marvelled at the colors that blotch The Hill in autumn? Maples, scar¬ let at the top and blending down to bright yel¬ low, too, and the oaks light brown and orange. Then Jack Frost lays aside his multi-colored pal- lette and covers all with one shade of brown. The winds take up the task of changing seasons and soon the ground is carpeted with a thick, rustling mat. Then with frosty breath Winter comes to The Hill, and leafless bushes scratch against the windows of Old Main. Only the evergreens hold their color as they sway to-and-fro. All the rest is gray, but the white majesty of the buildings standing out upon the heights. But soon the buds are playing hide and seek with the last stray frosty snaps, the sun comes out in earnest, and spring comes again to the Arkansas campus. Then the tiny flowers burst through the grass, the trees turn green, and co¬ eds issue forth in all the colors of the rainbow. Those are the seasons at Arkansas. Seasons crowned in each case by the beauty of our cam¬ pus. Those three seasons are the ones we bring you in this book. As you turn the pages, see the events portrayed as we saw them—just as they happened in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. We offer you The Seasons at Arkansas.

Ha zoiIBack T- I HIS is a Southwest Conference story—not to he repeated. 1938-39 couldn ' t be repeated. Like a hand of bridge, we ' ll never have another one just like it. Old Arkansas has seen a lot of prog- J ss, but never quite so much in so short a time, ew buildings were completed and occupied, more were started. The enrollment took a de- j uip over the preceeding year for an all- une high, and the faculty was increased We saw ti liberal faculty senate convene, extend the me between classes, and modify the oft-rapped stick rule. to first time we saw the Razorbacks take al h 1 beautiful new stadium in a natur- second game one Harry Hopkins, “th Administrator, told the crowd that stadium was not builded by men lean- fro shovels. 400 WPA works, who got in cheered enthusiastically. sniiQ highly touted Razorback u u and University band go off to California to tackle Santa Clara. Yes, and a couple of riots, too. We saw a squad of Sophomores, sparked by Cap¬ tain Neil Martin, the only experienced man, almost take another conference title in basketball. Dean Reid came through with her consent to more costume dances than we ' d ever seen before. Teas and dances cluttered the week-ends. The social whirl made coeds dizzy. The editor and business manager of the student directory were made elective offices, and campus polit ' cs were hotter ' n ever. Deacon” Darnell, the little emancipator, came back to fYe the Inde¬ pendents ; while Ernie Wright harranged the agris and Sigma Chis for the New Deal. The Traveler turned the heat on and the unaffiliated students swamped the campus offices. Yes, it ' s been a great year. All-in-all we believe a most successful one. The old grads may come back and say things aren ' t like they were in the good old days, but these are the good old days that WE will talk of in the years to come.
