FOREWORD One picture is worth a thousand words. So goes the old Chinese proverb, and it is with this in mind that your 1957 Blue Hen attempts to capture, largely in pictures, those portions of college life which words frequently cannot adequately L express: memorable events, sad and happy; organizations, large and small; familiar faces and familiar places. All contribute to a vivid account of your four years on the campus of the University of Delaware. Four years pass swiftly and what once loomed in the future soon becomes an important and unforgettable part of our past. The memory of this past fades rapidly and the significance of college days becomes obliterated in the bristle of everyday life. The 1957 Blue Hen, we hope, will restore that significance and will bring a happy persenal recollection in moments of reverie to each of you who, now and in the future, seek out the past in its pages.

DEDICATION Who knows what lies ahead? With faith in the Almighty and confidence in our ability to succeed, we, of the 1957 Blue Hen, dedicate this book to the Future. The future remains life's great mystery. Could we but view the events of time yet to come; could we but view our life before we lived it: we might then see the real importance of our preparation for that future, The Baccalaureate degree signifies the termi- nation of one step in that preparation. Such steps of preparation are perhaps the only ways to lessen the great uncertainty and resulting insecurity con- nected with thoughts of future years. So, plan and prepare, develop confidence in your abilities, take pride in your achievemnts; then, face the future courageously. Think . . . you are today what Yesterday You were Tomorrow you shall not be less.
