PREFACE N THIS lSSl'E. I have tried. as have the previous wur-time Editors, tO inelullerwus zlet'urutely as possible the names of those who are graduating in 1946.215 well as those who were originally in the Class Of 1946. ln any undertaking.r of this sort. mistakes are easily made. Names are either listed in the wrong class 01' are entirely omitted. The class lists, as puhlishetl in this hook, have been eheeked and reehee 'etl for errors. In View of the foregoing, any mistakes that may he found are quite unintentional aml my apologies are in order. Busieally. the material in the hook is of a literary nature. The stories have been written by Various members of the undergraduate hotly as well as the faculty. By means of eompurutive old and new photographs, and a few facts concerning the histories of the many fraternities, clubs. and athletics, l have tried to indicate the progress of llmlergrzuluale activities at W'esleyall and to show the importance of extra-currieulur activities in a liberal edueution program. The purpose of a college annual is to give a running account of the yearls activities including as many pietures and as much literary nmterial as possible. Of course, the student body is small, compared to the normal peaee-time enroll- ment. Uur hutlget has likewise heen eut whieh simply means that only the neeessury aml pertinent pietures 'an he inehuletl antl that the number of pages must he kept at u minimum. With this in mintl. l have simplified the style and organization 01' the hook. I believe. however, that the process of simplification aml refinement has not been overdone and that the 1946 'lOIla Podrida will never heeonle dated. will never suffer the eritieisms of the routine modernistie tlpprozleh. uml will always remain as a lusting.r tribute to the Class Of 1946.
