lFo eword XM-, the memhfrs of the Gulielmensiun Board, present this ninety-second edition in order to preserve the pleasant memories of XVilliams College for the Class of 1951, and, as an added feature, in order to commemorate the past fifty years of the College. This Senior Class. the only normal. predoniinatc-ly non-veteran class in a decade, and perhaps for many years in the lfntnre, has witnessed in its final year the mid-point of the Twentieth Century. Despite the many px-rilons difficulties, the mid-century finds Wfilliams progressing toward the goal set hy Mark Hopkins and the others famous in VVilliams tradition. The 1951 Gul attempts to capture a part of this great past history at this erneial time. There is a controversy over whether the lialf-century mark was Deeeinller 31, 1949 or 1950. The Cregorian Calendar is to hlame for the confusion. It omitted the year zero. The Lihrary of Congress ignores the Gregorian Calendar. hnt the British royal astronomer, the Naval Observatory in Wfashington, and the Interstate Commerce Coininissiorfs time expert all helieve that the half-century should he eelehrated Dc-eemher 31, 1950.
