FOREWORD . ++. Letters, we get letters..... The power of the written word is never to be underestimated. Especially prominent in the lives of all of us who are students at the university is the letter from loved ones, parents or friends. The whole complexion of the situation of the time may be altered. That extra bit of cash for the all important date from Dad or the words of encouragement, pride, or the often necessary reprimand from Mom; the local news from a high school chum; the neighborhood news- paper—these all are a vital part of our lives away from home. Not only dynamic is the word received, but also the message sent. The written picture of college life we transmit tells of the good times, the bad times, and the in-between times. Each dance, each athletic contest, each hour spent studying, each meeting attended, each new friend made is recorded. It is in this vein that we, the staff of the 1959 GEM OF THE MOUN- TAINS portray life at the University of Idaho during one wonderful, action-packed year. As you read this book, may you fondly relive memories filled with joy, sorrow, satisfaction and mental stimulation. THe Eprror
