RHODE ISLAND STATE COLLEGE J-oMuvtfid Teach a man to read and write, and you have put into bis hands the great keys of tlx wisdom-box. — Huxley. ■ITHIN these pages are contained the happenings of the past year. Some of these activities bring back memories, which in turn may bring back a smile, a tear, sighs, or heartaches, depending upon individual differences and attitudes toward Rhode Island State College. Year after year, a group called Seniors move out from the Kingston campus to a place in the world where a new and different life is found. The College becomes a nonentity, leaving no trace upon the worldly-wise alumnus. Classmates, students, faculty members, the buildings, the grounds, and even the spirit and traditions are easily forgotten. In the near future we hope to become alumni of Rhode Island State College, all of us, so let us try to retain some connection, some spirit of loyalty that will make Kingston more than just a name on the map. Let us relish the thought that we still belong. When, in later years, this catalog is ever dusted off to be perused, may it be with the idea that it is a reminder of a happy era which we, as students, helped to perpetuate.
