QFNQ Hrs IS YOUR FIFTIETH SAVITAR- yours to keep and cherish as a record of the University of Missouri during one of its most trying years. Let's look back for a moment and trace a bit of our yearbook's history. Fifty years ago last fall the students of the Junior Class felt a need for publishing a lasting record of the year's highlights and happenings. -When the plan for publishing an annual was com- plete and put into execution, the editors began casting about for a suitable name-one that would carry with it associated significance, and thereby express in a degree the full intent and purpose of the proposed volume. After considerable research and cogitation, Savitar was selected because we liked the size and sound of the word, and because its associations bore with them appropriately suggestive meanings. HSAVITAR is the sun god of the Rig-Veda. S' 'l' 'I' if SAVITAR is the god who sees all things and records all the good and evil deeds of men. His power is irresistible. Age cannot touch him, and nothing can withstand his will. To him are addressed the verses, 'Holiest of All the Veda: 'May the golden-eyed SAVITAR come hither, Shining forth, he rises from the lap of the dawn, Praised by singersg he, my god SAVITAR, Steps forth and never missed his place. He steps forth, the splendor of the sky, The wide-seeing, far shining, the shining wandererf 1 -Rig-Veda, vii, 63. ' fi,41Thus has the ,work of that first staff been carried on each year since through both war and peace. Let us dedicate this volume, then, to the hope of a lasting peace after this turmoil and to the faith in young people such as those who represent our own Univer- sity to promote higher education, better social living, and above all, a world in which mankind may live together in peace. -The Editor.
