FORE ORD As the days of autumn come scampering by like squirrels and winter winds brush cold cloudy fingers against our faces and a hint of spring lingers in the air, we know it has come again. As we walk the green framed campus and feel the first soft breezes of spring stroke our hair, we stop and say, Where has it gone ? Perhaps the answer lies in the dai- ly rush and routine of classes or in the half-remembered images of a Homecoming parade. Perhaps we lost the year in a long thoughtful walk or in the looking-glass stillness of an autumn lake. Perhaps we have lost it among the brittle leaves of autumn or in the soft white clusters ofsnow. Perhaps also we have lost it in the spring, among the newborn grass greening toward the world or in the first warm glow of sunset beckoning the summer. Where have we lost the year? Certainly it has not been in our thoughts, for in the passing of each college year we find something that we never knew we possessed. We have gained something very precious in each and every day. Perhaps we have lost a year, but we have gained the gift of insight and wisdom. 4
