University of Massachusetts Amherst - Index Yearbook (Amherst, MA)

Page 10 text:

PREFACE .. . ANDID shots of campus life seen - through a student ' s eyes will give the 1940 Index a true-to-life resume of the past year at State. With pictures, a lively style, and a really typical keynote, the Index depicts students and faculty as they are seen daily — without extreme realism and without the idealistic aura of the college movie. This escape from dessi- cated formality will give its readers the flavor of life at State unadorned by con- vention or by rose-colored glasses. Though simple, the student ' s existence possesses pleasant aspects common only to the State campus. Making a novel approach chiefly by use of photography, the Index has captured the essence of State College activity both in and out of the class room. : fi
