7 ' orewoi J .HIS TYEE, wLich records tlie student activities and accomplishments of tne year 1927, gives a trie! tut suggestive revieitr of tne ever cnanging aspect of life in a great University. It will recall to your mind now only tlie liappy events of tlie year just past; m tne future ifs pages vill fce your open sesame to some of tlie most cnerisned ol memories. But in addition to tliese joyous recollections of college days it typifies also, tlirougn its stressing of the maritime motif, the factors vhich have made possitie VV ashington s groAt ' th into one of the great educational centers ol the Avorld. Oince 1628 when iSir Francis Drake first anchorea in Puget Sound on that memorable cruise around the glohe many and larger ships have folloAi ' ed his course; Avith them have come the physical and cultural development of the Northwest. Our University stands at the vestern crossroads of ocean travel to disseminate learning to all quarters ol the earth. The (jdi tors - resident s Fc OREIGN Nations, trought into cont act with America through ocean commerce, have done much to facilitate the growth and expansion of the University of ashington. Intercourse ■with persons of other nationalities, -whose man- nerisms, thought, and ways of life are distinct from those of America, has served to hroaden sympathy, evoke tolerance, and ■widen the horizon of education. An increasing enrollment ol foreign students has been a great force acting on reorganiiation of curriculum in the universities ol the -west. The ocean commerce of the Pacific coast is slowly blending the literature and culture of the W est with that of the far East. Tlie University of VV ashington is no w ■well established as an educational center. Progress of this institution ■will be achieved by students, alumni, faculty and regents making the interests of the University their chief concern. David 1 Jiomsoiu Acting Presidents
