 The half century that, has passed has l»ecn filled with the successful achievements of Wisconsin men who have gone out from the college. During all these years men in under-graduate life have striven and fought, have won glory or suffered disap-pointment; they have lived a life than which no existence could be more real. At the end of four years they, in their turn, have gone out into the world. Many of them are long forgotten; some of them will live forever in the life of Wisconsin. It has l een the peculiar function of the Badger throughout its history to be, as far as possible, the chronicle of a year of the relationships established among Wisconsin men and women. It is the aim of those responsible for this volume to characterize as fairly and justly as possible the? life at Wisconsin as it really is at the present time, to |)ortray the men and women who are now helping to create her manifold activity. We have tried in addition to express in terms of the printer’s art the beauties in Nature that surround our campus. We have attempted also to indicate the progress and prosperity of our university. It seems only fair, then, that this l»ook be taken for what it has tried to lx — not an analysis of the inner workings of Wisconsin men’s minds, or a critical study of Wisconsin men’s action—but rather a reproduction of the grand environment in which Wisconsin men and women have lived, are living, and will always live - a book in which is written the ever-present story of good old Wisconsin. As such, this book, the twenty-ninth volume of the Badger, is open to you.
