RSINUS has been our home tor lour years. To some it has meant nothing but study, to others nothing but fun; to most of us it has meant a little ot both. For all, however, our brief stay has been a profound experience. We have grown wiser, more tolerant, and more mature. We have adopted new ideals, and acquired a stronger faith in the old. And more important, we have prepared ourselves to defend and promote these ideals. Not only in battle are we ready to offer our lives, but we are also prepared to devote our lives to the eternal struggle against our real enemies death, tyranny, injustice, want, and ignorance. Yet tor all this, Ursinus means something more. It means friendship and pleasant memories. Books and build' ings alone can not form a college: people professors and students are needed too. Few ot us will remember the dates of the Thirty Years War. or whether Pavlov was a Polish novelist or a Russian psychologist, but we will remember the friends we have met here, and the happy years we have lived together. THF 1943 RUBY has been published by us for the perpetuation of these memories. We do not dedicate it to the memory of one man: instead, we gratefully and humbly dedicate our Ruby to the whole of Ursinus College, which has indeed been our ALMA MATER.
