Q5RvJOSa 5i5SJ«JJG?«5555f5CJ CSl FOREWORD MINNESOTA Spirit, an intangible thing, yet withal a tremendous power in swaying the morale of the student body and moulding the character of its activities, is typified in the pages that follow. In presenting this volume for the consideration of its readers, the Editors have attempted to rc ' create on paper, some permanent record of that influence which has made our University not only a famous institution of learning, but a moulder of true men and women. The past has been called on; the present is given its due credit; but the future — that is left to be portrayed in the pages of the life of each individual student now on the campus. ?SNSiB8S8S4Ja!55«SS55S

More intimately associated with Minnesota spirit than is any other building on the cam- pus, is the Armory. Within its sombre walls are born ideals and hopes and aspirations. Out under its shadows, Minnesota teams for years Imve struggled on the gridiron. On its floors and in its pools, other Maroon and Gold teams have bid for victory. There Minnesota stu- dents and Minnesota athletes have learned to ivin — and to lose. There has been born that indomitable Gopher spirit which makes men marvel. Un- der the arched doorway, pro- cessions of robed students Imve passed, and emerged, diplomas in hand, as alumni. Even as a bright star guides and directs strangers on a desert, so does this historic structure guide and direct Minnesota.
