They, with their variation and their chal- lenges, resemble actual life situations much more than the more or less formal and arti- ficial class sessions. Upsala College has for years appreciated such activities as impor- tant factors in education and has sought to supply the students with aggressive coopera- tion from faculty members. The problem seems to be somehow to prevent some stu- dents from overloading themselves with extra-academic responsibilities and to en- courage others to get their share and to do their part. How successfully Upsala has solved this problem is in part shown in the Upsalite, which in itself is an eloquent evidence of in- terest and efIiciency in extra-curricular work. Doubtless most of this work has fallen to a few, especially to the editorial and the busi- ness staff, who have worked early and late to discharge their self-imposed duties. They have often become discouraged because of the lack of interest shown by some and the tendency of others to put off till a later day the comparatively little share of the project assigned to them. But the staff have faith- fully persisted to the end, and successfully persisted to the end, and successfully pro- duced an excellent annual. They are to be most sincerely congratulated.

The geologist seeks to read the rid- dle of the physical world by examining strata, fossils and the like; the archaeologist unearths materials which tell how folk lived in other civilizations; the historian assembles all manner of data from Which he recon- structs and interprets the story of the past. Without this knowledge of the past we could never hope to understand the present. It is indeed true that we are what we are Twcnty by virtue of all that we have experienced in the past. We have met personalities who have influenced us most profoundly; we have come into contact with ideas which have molded us; we have been numbered in groups which have left their mark With us. Four of our most impressionable years have been spent in college. The experiences of college years have entered into the very fabric of our lives. We should be filled with gratitude for the opportunity which has been ours. In days to come When we desire to relive these years it will be a simple and pleasant thing to turn to this Upsalite. Herels the record. Read it. It will bring back memories from days happy and profitable. Evald B. Lawson
