Introduction HE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND ONE is the first to be sent forth from Old Penn in this great new century. During the last hundred years Pennsyl- vania has climbed, slowly at first, and then with marvelous and ever-increasing rapidity, to the foremost place among the Universities of the land, through periods of bitter crisisg through dark days into fair, and the sunshine of prosperity. But as we stand now at this, the great turning-point in our lives, it is for us to look not upon the past, but to the future, spreading out before us farther than eyes such as ours can hope to see. To some of us it is of little concern g to many a cause of intense and prolonged anxiety, to all of the utmost importance, ours to make it what we can. It is an old, old story, perhaps, this standing bewildered upon the threshold of the worldg but this time it is our story, and to us it is new. 5

We have lived together, worked together,-played together. Our best friends are those whom we shall always associate with the green walls and musty class-rooms of College Hall. To leave them seems not so hard now as it will years hence, when the world is not so bright as to-day. But it is hard, neverthelessg how hard, only those who have gone before us can know. It is to keep alive the memories of our four years that we have published this book. Let us hope that it may fulfill its purposeg that many years from now, when our eyes are no longer bright nor our hands firm and strong, we may sit before the dying fires and read again and again of the old, old days, feel once more in our hearts the spirit of the campus, and shout and sing with the very lungs of youth- ,P67Z7Z5j!fZfKZ7ZZt7 ! fD6'7Z7'ZS-jV'f'ZJf7lZZtZ ! we o:f'Qn 6
