Preface to NIKE Tue Yale professor who said that he was waiting to read ‘Gone with the Wind” until it appeared in the Reader's Digest was no more optimistic than the junior class when it tries to compress the four years of college life into a single volume. At the end of almost every sentence in Nike there ought to be a row of asterisks signifying that most of what was important has been omitted. All that can be done is to write a volume which is almost shorthand because it just strikes the high lights and needs to be read between the lines. How strange and old-fashioned and passé and delight- ful these records will appear to the members of the Class of 1939 when they come upon them sporadically in the future years. ‘Did I ever look like that?’’ will be varied with ‘‘I wonder where she is now!’’—for on graduation day the hand of Alma Mater takes the class, as a sower takes a handful of seed from his bag, and scatters it to the world’s end. But like a lay Bible this volume should be kept somewhere 1n the house where it will appear automatically once in every five years. Be sure and keep it out of the children’s way because they will cut the pictures out and use them for their school scrapbooks of the medieval period. And when you speak at the Alum- nae Banquet in 1980 your first words will probably be, “T was looking over Nike last night, published in the year I graduated. Ah, that was Wheaton’s Golden Age!
