University of Northern Iowa - Old Gold Yearbook (Cedar Falls, IA)

Like an injection of powerful adrenalin, the purpose of a foreword in a col- lege annual is lo stimulate the revival of a nearly terminated part of a person's being. Now that the school year of 1947-48 is nearly over, a revival of its activities and participants once more renews the warm friendships and happy memories crowded into the small scope of a college year. The classes—pleas- ant. instructive or boring: study hours in the library and the rendezvous for a coke afterward: parties, dances and dates with their uplifting companionship: sports contests and athletic participations with their excitement and exhilara- tion: all these past experiences come out of the vague cloud of memory and live again in concrete picturization on the pages of a yearbook. With this end in view, the 1948 Old Gold has been built, by you and for you. It is yours, and we hope you like it. An air viow of the campus give a birds eyo view of Iho now Lawihor Hall addlilon.

Work proceeds on the new addition to Lawther Hall, which will provido additional housing. To Progress and specifically to the progress of the year 19 17-1948 and those who made it possible—the 1948 Oi.d Gold is proudly dedicated. A new addition to the women's dormitory, new barracks type annex classrooms, ap- proved plans for a beautiful campus chapel, and beginning construction work on the modernistic Arts and Industries building—all these are signs of the progressiveness of the Iowa State Teachers College. A new system of registration and better methods of instruction and advise- ment stand forth as achievements in the fields of social development, coupled with an advancement in bringing about better associations of young men and women engaged in a process of learning and developing. To this Progress- to the far-sighted planners and builders who envision the needs of the education system of tomorrow, and to the students themselves— to the progress of the year 1947-1948. the 1948 Old Gold is dedicated.
