The Year at Through the ages, man has always tried to perform his tasks in such a way that he would stand out from the rest. This, in a sense, is the ideal of every college yearbook editor. He tries his best to put out an annual which is different, in some respect, from all previous editions. However, no matter what is said to the contrary, the world in v hich we live is not one in which all things are possible. No matter what are our ideas or ambitions, v e must be practical and realize that we are limited by the materials which v e have at hand. Thus, only certain individual parts can be changed while the fundamental structure must remain the same. In the publication of the Ruby we have ever been guided by these principles. As a result, this Ruby contains practically the same material as former Ursinus yearbooks, but we have rearranged the contents so as to depict in the best possible way the final year at Ursinus of the Class of '38. We do not expect it to be a history of the past year, but rather that it will present an outline of Ursinus life into which each person can fill those memories v hich he feels to be an intregral part of Ursinus. V e believe that the true spirit of Ursinus cannot be written about; instead, it lives in the memory of every student, alumnus, and friend. This Ursinus is a different place io each one. Each one cherishes certain memories of gracious deeds, sympathetic guidance, unstinting service, good times, and life-long friendships which to him are most typical of the best in the Ursinus tradition. It is our sincere hope that in the years to come this Ruby will bring back to the men and women of Ursinus these memories.

HONOR In producing this year book, the editors have tried to present a true-to-life picture of Ursinus. It is fortunate that in choosing a dedicatee, the Class of 1938 selected a man who is a true-to-life picture of the best in the Ursinus tradition of men who are friends and guides as well as instructors. No one connected with the College exemplifies these characteristics better than our respected professor and sympathetic friend, Prof. Martin Weaver Witmer. To him this 1938 Ruby is sincerely dedicated.
