FOREWORD All about us, dav bv dav, we observe numerous changes taking place in our college — decrease in enrollment, changes in curriculum, departure ot old friends, both faculty and students, and arrival of new ones. Some of these changes we welcome as a breath of clean air, driving away what might become academic stuffi- ness ; others we deplore, feeling that they destroy ' a bit of our beloved college that can never be replaced. Yet in the midst of these constant changes, good and bad, we recognize an unchanging steadfast spirit that has grown with West Chester from its very in- ception, a spirit best expressed by the words of our Alma Mater. Beginning with the splendid tribute West Chester, Hail, All Hail and ending with the eternal promise through endless days, it reveals the undying glory that survives all change. It is an intangible thing, this feeling or emotion which makes a college vibrant and alive; yet we hope that, with our Alma Mater as a theme, we may somehow in this book, through scenes of our everyday life, show that spirit of West Chester which we know existed in the glorious halycon days of the past, which we now feel in the speed-driven, war-torn days of the present, and which we hope will be in the peaceful to-morrow to come.
