?AI' :9, ,;f e4?! .4145: i . . . WM halted Wild One hundred years have passed since the first yearbook was published at Pennsylvania. The edi- tors of 1852 sought fit to call it THE RECORD, and today that is what we want it to be. A Civil War-which divided a Union, separated brothers, severed fraternities and destroyed a tra- ditional way of life-a Spanish-American War, two World Wars and the greatest financial crisis this nation has ever borne, were all survived by our young but hardy institution of learning. We feel that it has emerged as a university With a more mature and Wiser fellowship and, in our hearts, deserves unbounded reward. To record this dynamic century, the 1952 RECORD has set down in words and pictures, some grand but many quite simple, its own resplendent history. Benjamin Franklin, who founded the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania in 1740, said in his auto- biography, The next thing most like living oneis life over again seems to be a recollection of that life, and to make that recollection as durable as possible by putting it down in writing? It has been our privilege, and we hope your pleasure, to follow his sage instruction. Editor-in-Claief ......... R. Richard Sherbahn Business Manager ........ Mosey A.
