otewotb This issue of The Thoroughbred marks the return of the publication after a six years' absence. During that period of silence, the University of Louisville entered upon the second century of its existence, celebrating in 1937 the one hundredth anniversary of its founding. Because the University is still in the immediate vicinity of the century mark, this yearbook has been made a departure from the normal run of uni' versity annuals, and has been designed with the-end to serve the function of commemorating the beginnings of the University, as well as perpetuating in more or less permanent and tangible form the spirit of the school year 1938f39. An historical motif has been infused into the book. The staff has at' tempted to depict through this volume the progress the University has made since 1837, when the first unit of the University, the School of Medicine, was organized. On the other hand, the yearbooks of other Universities have been scanned in order to learn the very latest and most modern technique in yearf book makefup. For that reason, this book differs radically in many respects from the yearbook of 1933, because of the great changes in style that have come about in the last six years. D The staff presents this book to the University-with the hope that it will be as meaningful to the reader of 1969 as to the reader of 1939.

edicafion For a number of years Louis D. Brandeis, despite his many timefconf suming duties as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, has in countless ways shown his interest in the university of his native city. His contributions to the University Library and to the School of Law, in par' ticular, have shown him to be one of the outstanding benefactors not only of the University, but the City of Louisville as well. The 1939 Thoroughbred is accordingly dedicated to the Honorable Louis D. Brandeis, as a token of appreciation for his invaluable and never' tofbefforgotten services to the University of Louisville. Now that he has retired from that tribunal upon which he served the American people and to which he brought great honor, the staff of The Thoroughbred cordially wishes him long years of health and happiness.
