We have tried to capture in the Ruby the spit it of Ursinus in a panorama of the lout years we have spent here: and it is only through the diligence of out editorial stall in helping us with copy, candid photography, and art work, and our business stall which, under the leadership ol Jane Estabrook. business manager. made it possible foi us to pay for them, that we have been able to carry out ideas to completion. 1‘he Ruby is published by a stall elected by the senior class, and this stall (attics the complete editorial and financial responsibilities on its own shoulders. Credit is due. thercfoic. not to one person, nor to two. but to the entire stall lot giving to you a book which we hope will be a colled ion ol happy memories.
