campus activities of the one have complemented and assisted the educative influence of the other. The style followed in the editing of this yearbook is unusual, but we do not feel that this is in any way a weakness in tl1e publication or a reflection on the quality of the annual. Rather, we firmly believe we have taken a step toward dispelling the not too absurd conviction that all yearbooks are dry and uninteresting, that all yearbooks are the same. We present a maximum of pictures and a minimum of script, hoping to provide a ready Aladdin's Lamp to your memories of undergraduate life. Of one thing we are sure - we have attempted to publish o11e of the most unusual yearbooks in the history of the University. If in thumbing the pages of this book you feel that each phase of campus life has been 'treated adequately, fairly, and tastefully, and that the Tower of 1953 is worthy of a place of honor among the Towers of other years - then we are content that our hours of labor in its compila- tion have indeed been fruitful.
