Nera aron has meant many things to us. It has meant long walks in the Pines, bridge games in the Sem, serious moments, and gay moments of fun. We have seen the moon above the Chapel, staring through the tangled black branches of the elms; we have watched the slow hands of the clock in Mary Lyon 11 tick away the minutes of an examination ... Wheaton has been to us all things at all times. One of the deepest impressions we shall carry away from Wheaton with us is one of a woman whose complete honesty of mind and spirit has always been refreshing. She is so much a part of the school she has served for Over twenty-five years that we shall alwa ys think of them together. She has seen Wheaton grow from a seminary to a college with a fine liberal ideal of education; she has seen old Met- calf replaced by new Metcalf, and the campus slowly attain to a uniformity of architecture whose restrained simplicity is half of its loveli- ness. To Miss Young, with respect and affec- tion, we offer this book, hoping it will add one more pleasant memory to her many memories of Wheaton.

Preface to NIKE... NG means Victory. In 1926 Nike contained “‘The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion’’ which ended with these words, “‘When it is all over I shall sit down and think of it all together—these my four years at Wheaton.”’ That is what this volume is designed to help you all to do, now and in the future years. Here are the faces and scenes, the signatures left by the waves of four years on the sands of time. ‘See to that fire being kept up and bring some fresh roses,’’ said an English friend to the maid on leav- ing her house for the morning. That we shall endeavor to do at Wheaton against your return. You will remember the spirit of the place, and whatever meets you in life never forget that Nike means Victory.
