The College experience was referred to by the late President Hyde of Bowdoin as the best four years of one ' s life, and most of us who look back upon it from maturer years agree with this sentiment. Therefore it becomes an important matter to preserve in permanent form a record of these choice years. This, it seems to me, is the function of the Index. I believe that this book does not need to be elaborate but does need to retain this characteristic under-graduate flavor so that each alumnus, as he looks it over twenty-five years hence, will live again those best four years.
