O REWORD W :•,■• ; ' -;■• :;!bii»v ' rt I HTHIS BOOK is made out of YOU, and afternoons on Picnic ■ Point, and Bill Kiekhofer ' s lofty moments in i b; of the thrills and conquests of last minutes at Camp Randall and Sterling Court; of Benny Snow ' s snowflakes and Mendota when the moon is high. In places the book has looked a bit into the past, and seen Wisconsin men pushing the frontiers of life across blizwrd ' swept ghciers;and a bit into the future, and seen You in the halls where laws are making and justice is sought; where grim and silent amid the staccato of riveting hammers you clinch steel into towering skeletons; where with word and color and stone you reveal new beauty that mankind else had missed; where your word in the charged quiet of a director ' s room makes myriad factory wheels to throb ceaselessly night and day; where chil ' dren ' s faces glow in evening firelight and On Wisconsin kindles hearts of men and women. This book is made of the stuff that Life is made of.

' T ' HE GLORY of The University of Wisconsin is not - - in her four limpid lakes, four Naiades; not in her steadily expanding buildings nor her multiplying wealth; not even in the increasing thousands of men and women that go from her halls to the ends of the earth. Her greatness is in her Ideal — that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the Truth can be found — an Ideal pregnant with the power of virility always tempered with restraint; an Ideal written into her records at the end of the old century and read in the deeds of her disciples in the beginning of the new; now dominant in every classroom and graven on the facade of her central building, where, like to a city set on a hill, it cannot be hid. Behind all Ideals are Ideas, and behind Ideas are Men. The subject of the old political economy was The Wealth of Nations; the subject of the New Economics is The Wants of Men. That Idea has come to influence and will come to dominate the life of the nation and the world as the Ideal has dominated the life of the University. In endorsement of the Idea and in grateful appreciation of the Man behind it, we are happy — in the seventieth year of his life and of his services at Wisconsin the thirty ' second — to dedicate this the Thirty-Ninth volume of The Badger to RICHARD THEODORE ELY
