lb Wa wun’ | WAN: President M, G. Neale w)? President 4 eh He SSG e ¢ In this issue of The Gem of the Mountains student life during the year 1933-34 passes in review. To you who have been students at the University this book becomes a rec- ord of one year in your lives. The fact that student life of the kind that is pictured here constitutes an important part of uni- versity education perhaps was not the rea- son which led the staff to adopt it as the principal motive of this book. The fact that it is an important part of university educa- tion, however, makes this book of double value to every student. There have been a number of individuals in this country who have deplored the lack of radical spirit among the students of American universities during this period of political, economic, and social change. Some of these persons have said thar the ef 2 fe lack of radical behavior on the part of students in American universities has indi- cated that they are lacking in originality and power of thought. To me the absence of radical behavior among the university students of the United States does not indi- cate any failure to think or lack of a critical attitude toward conditions as they are. Their behavior rather indicates the fact that they have full confidence in orderly growth and development as a means of putting this country ahead. They still have confidence in the type of democracy which our political institutions represent. It is my belief that the conduct of American univer- sity students during this period is one of the important reasons for confidence in the nation’s future. M. G. Neate, President.
