FOREWORD A yearbook ' s reason for existence lies in its power to recall to a graduate the years of scholastic life. With that single purpose in mind the editors of the 1941 Redwood have undertaken to record the accomplishments and capture the spirit of the students of the University of Santa Clara during the year 1940-41. Hoping to catch the rhythm of events as they occurred to those who experienced them, the editors have adopted a method of approximate chron- onology of events, with some concessions to the technical limita- tions of a yearbook, as a principle of organization. If this method will recall to the students of the university in 1940-41 the excitement of a successful football team, the interest of the great Cenodoxus production, the mixed pleasures and pains of the last few weeks, crammed with final examinations, excursions, dances, term pa- pers, and the confusion which marks the close of every school year, then the end toward which the editors have bent their efforts will have been fulfilled. Observers of the campus life of Santa Clara have often said that the class which graduates in May, 1941, includes some of the most talented men who have contributed to and profited from the ex- cellence of the university since its foundation. It is to these grad- uates that the 1941 Redwood is dedicated in appreciation of the University of Santa Clara for their contribution to its honor. The Redwood hopes that it may assist them in future years to live again their days on this campus. 1
