Cyrus H. I . Curtis THE students of Ursinus hail with genuine affection the premier benefactor of our college. We are drawn to him not only because his generous support of this institution has contributed directly to the quality of instruction we here enjoy, but also because we see in him one whose career gives us hope, courage and inspiration, and whose character lifts us to high levels of thought and action. In presenting Mr. Curtis for honors eighteen years ago on the occasion of President Omwake’s inauguration, Mr. H. E. Paisley pointed out his great energy, industry and tact, his intellectual quality, lofty ideals and moral worth, his unparalled contribution to society in building up the home, and declared that his career signalizes in a remarkable way the possibility of combining in one’s life-purposes the ends of personal success and public welfare.” Consequently his life, as well as the fruits of his benefactions, sheds luster on Ursinus. Not only to us but to the generation of students who will follow us, the name of Cyrus H. K. Curtis will be one of endearment and encouragement.

The Ruby 1931 THE aim of the 1931 Ruby is to present to the alumni and students of Ursinus College and to the public in general the approaching realization of the new science building soon to take its place on the Ursinus campus. To this purpose the 1931 Ruby has been developed in all its detail—both in an theme and in organization and content. The opening design on the fly leaf represents the predominate sciences in chronological order from left to right. First is an alchemist of the fifth century B. C. mixing ingredients with mortar and pestle. Next is a physicist of the fifth century A. D. representing the climax of the development of Greek science. To his right is shown a German chemist of the Renaissance period about 1500 A. D. The next figure is symbolic of medical research during the nineteenth century, and last is a scientist doing biological research on newest forms of microscopic organisms. Towering over all is the architect's conception of the new Ursinus Science Building within whose walls the most modern development and research work will be found. The titlc-p3gc panel represents materials of the various sciences and includes a drawing of the doorway of the new science building. The border panels of the double page spreads found in the opening section and in the main division pages also represent the development of science throughout the ages. Starting at the top left and reading downward we see represented: first, Galileo, the Italian astronomer of the sixteenth century; second, Lavoisier, a French chemist of the eighteenth century; and Franklin (1706-90) and his experiment with electricity. The figures on the right symbolize the more modern sciences viz., physics, applied chemistry, and applied electricity with the suggestion of the radio age into which we are developing. In the opening section we find a photograph of Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, who is, as the President's message suggests, the premier benefactor of our college,” and through whose generosity the new science building has been realized. The main division pages contain photographs and write-ups of the alumni who have become prominent in the various fields of science and to whom the future Ursinus students may turn for inspiration. The subdivision pages contain a design of scientific suggestion which includes the name of the subdivision and the photograph of the individual most prominent in that activity.
