F O R E W O R D -. -N-N 5 1 ff. HY does the Junior class of Wesleyan publish each year the Olla Podrida? What is the pur- Q pose of the book? ls it to furnish wealth to the class, or the editors? One glance at the business manager's budget disposes of that answer. ls it to interest the budding sub-freshman in Wes- leyan? Perhaps. Is it to give satisfaction to those who find their names or pictures in it, or to glorify the great name of the Class of IQI7? flihese seem rather poor reasons for the existence of a whole boolc. It might be to sound forth the glory of Wesleyan's athletic teams, to publish to the world and future generations what an illustrious faculty she has, what a loyal student body, what liye actiyities, what growing possibili- ties. Yes. All that' is true. But the best purpose is more than these. It is for the present undergraduate to keep for the future. Some day, many years from now, you, senior, fresh- man, or whoever you are, will ,be sitting in your comfortable armchair before the fireplace. Wife will be putting the young- sters to bed-future sons of Wesleyan, be sure !-and a reminiscent mood will come upon you. You will stretch, get up, go to .the lowest shelf on the left hand side of your boole- case, and draw out the X917 Olla Podrida, light your pipe, and settle back in your armchair, to remember for a little while your college' days. C-Then, if in this bool: you find some pic- ture, some record, some anecdote, that will take you back into college again, into the good old Hivied walls and storied hallsn: then, Oh spirit of your future self, is when the best purpose of the 10317 Olla Podrida will be accomplished. . 17
