Proudly we dedicate ! this MISS ELSIE GULLEY Rare indeed is the person who, after living in a community, becomes not only a part of its physical activity, but a part of its heritage as well. For the past twenty-nine years, Wheaton has benefited by having had such a person live and grow with it. Miss Elsie Gulley has become a part of our life as she has shared with us her knowledge in the field of history. With her guidance we have not only learned about the fluctuations that have come with time but also of the personalities who have influenced these changes. At Syracuse University, Miss Gulley earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Later, she acquired a doctorate at Columbia Uni- versity. Her standards of scholarship and her passion for research have placed her among the most distinguished of Wheaton’s scholars. Miss Gulley’s love for travel sent her to England, Scotland, and Italy. From all of her trips, including the famous seven to California, our energetic professor has returned with new ideas and eagerness. Her kindness and understanding have influenced the lives of Wheaton students for many years. Miss Gulley, thank you for sharing your wisdom and spirit with us. Page five

One day, while Pegasus was still wild and free, Bellerephon came toward him carrying a golden bit and a saddle. The golden bit was magic. It fascinated Pegasus and he allowed Bellerephon to thrust it between his teeth. Then for a time, Pegasus was guided through the skies by Bel- lerephon who showed him the way by pulling the golden bit to right or left. In their journey, they met the Chimera, a terrible monster with breath of fire. It was part goat, part lion, and part dragon. It was the epitomy of ignorance, for it had neither mind nor under- standing. Since Pegasus and Bellerephon loathed ignorance more than anything else in the world, they were forced to meet in conflict with the Chimera. And together they slew it. Bellerephon stayed on the back of Pegasus to direct him for many years, but one day he slipped from his back and fell to earth, and Pegasus was alone and free again to ride the skies by himself. But now he had slain ignorance and gained knowledge of the sky so that he was able to find his way to the mount of the gods by himself. It was there that he found science and art and the secrets of eternity. It was there that he himself became the symbol of wisdom. So it was that throughout four years at College, we placed his image on our ring, and chose him as our theme, so that we could imitate his journey for knowledge. In future time, when we glance through this book, we will remember the guided journey that a spirited young horse once took. Page six
