Dimmed are the memories of that day when first the mystic symbol 30 shone forth as a standard to t'ollow, a prophecy to be fulfilled. And now the date is here, the standard has been served, the prophecy is t'ulfilled. Histories of classes may relate facts, and many of them in their uniformit are given over to the sentiment of We came. We saw. NVe conquereclln That we have contributed from our ranks to the posts of achievement and honor in every field of collegiate endeavor is no idle boast. Every phase of college activity has known the dominance of the wearers of our. standard. But the press, the remainder of this volume, the college archives, tell of that. And so we leave the chronicling of the deeds of the class of 1930 to other pens. More important, we regard the spirit behind those deeds. On de- parting, we relive those years stilent in never-to-be-forgotten companion- ship in the shelter of our Alma ater. And as time falls away and kind memory reenacts tl1e1n for us, there comes a history that words cannot t'orm, that pens cannot tell. For history is of two kinds, the cold, un- treated story of facts, names, events, vlctories--and det'eats, and then there is that intangible something that is the atmosphere and the spirit that animates the doers of the deeds. And though the shining glory of those deeds may pale and sink into insignificance in the greater struggle that is to come-the spirit yet lives. May those who are to follow, reading of those deeds, catch something of the sentiment that activated them and feel the loyalty, the love and the devotion that prompted them. We have striven to add our small part to the rich heritage that Washington and Jefferson be ueaths her sons. Feeling the responsibility to those who had gone onqbcfore, we have sought to keep ever bright the name ot' our co lege. And may our his- tory be remembered, not merely as a succession of events, but may it stand out to those it touches, a-s breathing the spirit of Washington and Jefferson, for such we have tried to make it. --GERALD ALI.:-:N HARSHMAN.
