This Is The Introduction: 11K KE is n certain formula for Annual Introductions which implies the following thought: The Old Order must go; tilings must change. We cannot linger long in the glamor of college days. (How about 3college nights?) The moving finger writes; and having writ, moves on.” All of which reminds me of a certain joke the first line of which is, Who was that lady I seen you with last night? Thoughtless philosophers are a bore; so let us take up this matter by introducing something that we may be acquainted with. First. Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives me immense pleasure to introduce the Senior Class. Here we have something to be really optimistic over. The time has come to pass when a student can carry the American Mercury under his arm instead of the Atlantic Monthly for the purpose of conveying an intellectual impression. lie can be a successful politician without being a prizefighter. He can be acquainted with N'citzschc without being called a green-eyed cynic. He can give the psychoanalytic viewpoint of Freud or Jung without being .branded as evil-minded. He can call literary junk “Balderdash” without receiving a snicker for using such an expressive term. But most of all he can l e known as intelligent without having Phi Beta Kappa as his mortal goal.

Anatolc France is probably as foreign as his name. And so on. But let us not be depressed for long because we are really speaking of a fortunate exception. This has been a year of triumph for the naughty little boys who have had an idea and have been fearless enough to let it be known. The writings of these have lieen quoted and commented upon all over these well-known United States.
