PREFACE TO MANY Westminster students, the Blue Jay is something mentioned when pictures of organizations and classes are taken and then forgotten until it 'bursts clean-covered upon them in the spring. The hundreds of pictures and thousands of words of copy are, to most of the students, a real, but commonplace, miracle. l wish to thank all those who spent a great deal of time putting this material together, Dan Acutf my Associate Editor, Mr. Jack Marshall, advisor, the Applebaugh Studio, Semco Color Press, and innumerable others whose invaluable assistance made this publication possible. If this book reminds you of some of the personal incidents and the wonderful friendships and experiences that make college the rewarding time it is, the 1958 Blue Jay is a Success.

Dr. Robert L. D. Davidson President Westminster College Y W . ...aL- The President of Westminster College was christened Robert Laurenson Dashiell Davidson in Dover, Delaware. Dr, David- son has had a distinguished academic career in the East, and had served as a Dean at Temple University directly prior to becoming President of Westminster College. Dr. Davidson is an enthusiastic and dedicated cham- pion of Westminster College. He told a representative of the Blue Jay that, l'lI stay here as long as they'll have me. The President s ambition is to make Westminster, The quality prestige school in the Mid-West. Dr. Davidson looks forward to the completion of two dormitories and a dining hall for use during the l958-59 academic year, and expects that both dormitories will eventu- ally be occupied exclusively by freshmen. Westminster student spirit may receive some criticism, the President concedes, but he is well satisfied himself, de- claring that while the students are not demonstrative they are loyal and- serious. Dr. Davidson does not feel that new national fraternities are necessarily called for, although increased enrollment presents a problem- which can be solved only by more fra- ternities, larger fraternities, or 'deferred rush. The President does not want a school with a larger independent body be- cause Westminster's situation is not conducive to an inde- pendent program. Westminster is fortunate to have a president with the views and ambitions of Dr. Davidson, and under his guidance, the future will find Westminster an even greater institution. Leif C. Dahl F.
