Foreword A SLEEPING university has been awakened. l-ler call to action was abrupt. unforeseen and tragic, yet through her response to alarm and immediate need, we see the strength of her dormant character. Years of static achievement have composed her past - a century flavored with struggle and crowned with pride - but only the stones upon which to build. An institution no longer content to exist is now overwhelmed with her suddenly envisioned potential. Buildings, once architect's sketches, have become realities. Plans. once buried within men's minds, have erupted with volcanic excitement. Students, once satisfied only to follow, to memorize, to remain uninvolved, have thrown oft their cloaks of disinterest. A new student type is emerging. A catalyst of destructive winds has provided our University with the opportunity to construct her brightest dreams and to reach her highest goals. A sleeping campus has awakenedp Washburn Uni versity of Topeka will seek her highest potential through the dedication and devotion of all her people.
