The President's Message Each year of a college career is made up of a series of experi- ences that can never again be duplicated in the life of the individual student. While the background of shaded walks, ivy-covered towers, drab classrooms, smelly laboratories, and cloistered dormitories may remain quite the same from year to year, there are always more advanced courses of study, changing viewpoints, varying activities, and newly- found associations to capture the student’s imagination and challenge his interests. Likewise, while the college may continue to be anchored to the same traditions and to be steeped in the same idealism, there is always a chance with each passing year for the student to catch a larger vision of things, to cultivate new hopes and aspirations, to inject more spirit into his games and contests, to secure greater knowledge and inspiration from classroom activities, and to make closer and more lasting friendships. The Editor-in-chief of the 1936 Old Gold and his associates have dedi- cated this volume to the current college year and have endeavored to portray its significance in the life of the typical student. In pursuing their purpose, they have made a very serious attempt to preserve its unity and its entity. For the very distinctive manner in which they have carried out their project, I wish to express my deep appreciation and hearty com- mendation.
