FOREWORD We have tried,—we seniors,—to make the 1936 Ow L, —an autobiography of our four years at the University, —but more than that a memorial to the Institution which has anticipated our responsibilities and prepared us to meet them, a tribute to the many fine men and women of the faculty and administration who have guided and inspired us. We hope the pages of our book will be as varied and as rich in interest as have our activities. Although one of the most important aspects of our college career has been our studies, we have not dwelt isolated in an arid academic atmosphere. Working together, playing together,studying together, we have tasted the fruits of success which ripen on the tree of cooperation. May we continue to build together, as we go our separate yet coalescent ways, with the spirit of oneness the university instilled in us. Society has tried competition, let us try cooperation. i a
