FOREWORD While the primary object of this volume is to record the events and portray the life of the campus during the past year, since nineteen hundred and thirty-four is the sixtieth year since the founding of the college and the twenty-fifth since the coming of President Ames to the school, an attempt has been made through the art theme and through occasional reference to recall those periods during which there developed the institution that is today.
