Theme We, as compilers of this book, have striven to present a kaleidoscope of College Life. College Life is so many things. It isn’t books alone, and the new worlds discovered within them, or the term papers diligently composed and the lesson plans slaved over. Nor is it only the football games with the band blaring marches, or the dances in the gym to music by some swing” band. It is, rather, a combination of such experiences. In fond recollection one recalls Spring walks down by little Niagara, with the rushing, glad sound of the brook, no longer confined by ice, in one’s ears. And one remembers things like the smell of damp earth mould in Putnam Drive, the quietness of the library in late afternoon, difficult tests worried over, the empty, frightened feeling that accompanied an initial stage experience, the sun shining through laboratory windows, making test tubes sparkle, long hours spent rehearsing in the choir room, the good feeling of a hot shower after two hours of valiant combat on the gridiron, lovely music made by a band of traveling musicians, the parry and thrust of a debate, the laughter shared with new friends so much more exhilirating than the old laughter, the wonder of discovering beauty crystallized in a poem, the exceeding satisfaction of singing loudly in some German class. In the following pages, we have captured college life as best we could, and hope that today and always you may look within and find its indefinable flavor.
