University of Georgia - Pandora Yearbook (Athens, GA)

Page 13 text:

The 1942 Pandora whs particularly fortunate in having several ready made themes at its disposal. As state and nationwide interest in the institution of higher learn- ing with the oldest state-granted charter in the United States was aroused, due to publicity given by actions of the Governor and Board of Regents last year, a review of the University ' s history, rich in tradition and incident, and inspiring to a lover of progress, naturally suggested itself. At the same time, the second World War and the consequent rise of patriotic fervor, with its attendant possibility of compulsory military training for male students at Georgia, proved a fertile field for ideas. The staff eventually decided to use both these subjects, with the rise and progress of the University as the major theme, ,uid patriotism as a decorative motif. Informality has been stressed wherever possible, and candid snapshots have been distributed profusely throughout the book, in order to add interest and to make the material more readily understandable. Chronological arrangement was discarded in favor of the old division arrangement, so that various topics of more special interest to some than to others, might be easily located. And, finally, an effort has been made to enlist the varied talents of as many as possible of the student body, so that the 1942 Pandora might be, in the truest sense, what it purports to be — a representative yearbook of the students of the University of Georgia.

i)m FOREWORD Jl ERHAPS the most difficult task of the many which annually confront a Pandora staff is the selec- tion of a theme which will serve to connect all the varied material of a yearbook, and of an arrangement which will be logical and interesting, and, most important of all, different from anything that has gone before. Nearly all themes and arrangements have, by this time, been used already, and therefore, the staff must, in most cases, simply present old ideas in new forms. J.
