Utah State University - Buzzer Yearbook (Logan, UT)

DeDicaTion To Dr. Elmer George Peterson, President of the Utah State Agricultural College, the 1934 Buzzer is affectionately dedicated. Taking the helm eighteen years ago, he has steered a course straight and true despite adversities and difficulties which have blocked the way. Glancing bock through the years since 1916, we see the perplexities of war days and the deceptions of a false prosperity, followed by the paralyzing evils of the last four years. These scourges did not, however, bring defeat. On the contrary, the last eighteen years have been, in many respects, rat ones for the Institution rather than lean ones. Needing the clean hands and the singleness of purpose of the great men of old, wisdom made her abode with our President and became his servant in the house. Alluring new buildings and a State-including campus renew our faith that through him progress shall prevail.

TOR6LUORD Man's first mirror was a placid pool into which he gazed in wonderment and saw reflected his own countenance. The pool from the depths of which his likeness was returned has long since been supplanted by more ingenious devices—one of them, the printed page, catches the fleeting image and holds it in readiness to give back to the reader the message thereon engraved. Such is the purpose of this book. It is the sincere hope of the staff that as students turn its pages they will find reflected in the twenty-sixth written chapter of the history of our institution, an abundance of human interest; a portrayal of school life as they lived it. -
