U E D I u 3...- LD - 5'61; qu5 Our present-day system of education g3 has long been influenced as has our whole M civilization, by the external. We have I ?391earned to judge from outward appear- ances and, in our hurried life, to scan superficially. With such a background society has come to judge even educa- tional institutions by the externaleby the presence or lack of beautiful buildings, 3 broad campuses, large stadia, and world- famous faculties. However, there has been the failure to recognize the fact that the student is an integral part of the university, that his character contributes to the per- sonality of the school. e ' www.tmurmmyhgmuv wanna; : Recognizing, then, that the student body . - largely comprises the character and per- 7 sonality of the university, we dedicate this first Uhlan to the students of Valparaiso University for their part in making possible such an institution. Since from the students evolves the spirit of the university, through their activities on and off the campus, we have endeavored to determine upon the most representative of that body. These Representatives, all seniors, for they alone have had oppor- tunity to prove that they are outstanding in their fields, have been carefully chosen by factual investigation, popular vote, and student opinion cautiously garnered. These, Who follow, are the representative men and women of Valparaiso University.

E F A C E Change is inevitable and desirable. With this guiding thesis the Nineteen Thirty-Four Uhlan has been produced in an attempt to strike a new note in its en- tirety. Modern thought accepts the theory that t'progress is change . The present staff has likewise endeavored to be pro- gressive not only in leaning toward the modern but also in making a timely change in the very name of the annual of Vale paraiso University. This has not been a radical move, for the Record lacks the depth of significance and connotation that the title of an annual should have. The familiar uUhlan fulfils this requisite as no other title could, for it belongs only to this university. It is already a part of it and is symbolic through our athletic teams for whom we have enthusiastically adapted the name. uUhlan is derived from an ancient language and signifies merely youth - not the charging cavalryman of historic fame, though he is the symbol. In youth, as we have attempted to portray in the Uhlan figure, there is aggressiveness, vivacity; courage, and high ideals. Wherein could we find a more significant symbol than in youth? A university with youth as one of its ideals must forge to success.
