9 0 PON receiving his copy of this book, each one of us will turn straight to his picture and marvel at the injustice the camera has done him. VVe shall then admire the general improvement the same camera has effected in all our friends. Qnly then will anyone but the writer turn to these Words or any others. 'The invitation to Write a Greeting thus affords an unparalleled opportunity for a brief passage of death- less prose-a passage to be read at leisure after the urgency with which the pictures demand attention has been satisfied. Yet annual salutations of college presidents are unhappily as lifeless as specimens from Nlcllvaine Hall. An easy Good Morning on the campus, a friendly Come in gentlemenn at the door of oHice or house, or a plain Hello at College Field is a greeting more natural and significant than any Greeting.

The statesmen whose names we bear exemplify the type of men that every college wishes to produce, men of ambition, intelligence, and tolerance. Do we ever stop to wonder whether we have attain- ed these ideals in our college life? We of the 1949 Pandora have attempted to visualize the mythical return of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to the institution into whose hands they have bestowed their ideals. The college year has been depicted not as a series of seasons, with academic, athletic, and social occurences falling with regular monotony, but as a compact force, integrating all college functions itno a chronological order and a blending of activities. .. On the scenes of these activities we feel that Washington and Jefferson would find the realization, of their ideals personihed in the young men who are striving for these powers of ambition, in- telligence, and tolerance.
