Z L PRESIDENT’S History relates that gold was the first known metal and that the ancients fashioned it into articles when permanence was sought. It withstands the ravages of time and retains its value irrespective of age. Hidden away through the years, its lustre is not dimmed. Not so with memory. The years dull its edge, and we need to refresh it frequently by mementoes of the past. A college year is brief, presenting an ever-changing pattern of interests and events. Classes, contests, associations, pleasures, triumphs, friendships, disappointments, jests — an endless stream. Together they combine to make a year of our life together. We are so close to the present that we cannot grasp it in its entirety. Memory must sift out the importance of the present and retain it for our future reflection and pleasure. The Editors of this volume have faithfully portrayed our college year. The 1941 OLD GOLD will ever stand as a permanent record, retaining its value through the years and giving a priceless lustre to the memory of our college days at Iowa State Teachers College. How appropriate the name — OLD GOLD!

Neat rows of well-trimmed evergreens . . . green expanses of even grass . . . flowery bushes edging curved campus walks — there are the result of Mr. Cole's efficient policies as Superintendent of Building and Grounds. Also serving as • head director of activities in the Shops buildings, this administrator finds his time taken up in planning a campus beautiful as well as a campus mechanically smooth-running. Repair and care of buildings come also under Mr. Cole's supervision. Mr. Selmar Larson, Registrar, is the guiding force behind the innumerable tasks of enrolling, classifying, registering, and compiling credits for the two thousand • proteges of Iowa State Teachers College. Whether or not a student graduates with all his state-required courses, his requisite grade average, or his cor- rectly recorded certificates often depends on the ability of Mr. Larson's staff to find and straighten out the elusive errors in complicated systems of enrollment. Chief executive of the Faculty Senate and one-man court of student appeals • concerning curriculum is Dr. M. J. Nelson, Dean of the Teachers College Faculty. To Dr. Nelson's sanctum come petitioners, supplicants, and minor iconoclasts seeking help and permissions. The Dean serves as a contacting agent between student and professorial bodies, as well as a guide in determining the adminis- trative policy of the college. Under Mr. Leslie I. Reed's paternal wing are all men students on the campus. As Dean of Men, this kindly guardian smooths the way for newly enrolled collegians with an effective orientation program, settles disputes, and makes decisions on rulings. Through his endeavors and those of his secretaries, the numerous problems of masculine college life are ironed out, and the men are represented in governmental decisions. T. C.'s efficiency expert. Always time for a laugh. At r; st Statistically minded. Campus-builder. The Line.
