Foreword Within the folds of that mantle which fell upon my shoulders last winter, were hidden away more pleasant duties and privi- leges than I dreamed existed. Among the latter, that of writing the Foreword for your Legenda, I undertake very willingly. Your sojourn of four years at W.M.I. is drawing to a close, and I hope you rejoice that this is true. Yours is now the inviting opportunity to try something new, which should be interesting if only because it is different. You recall what an eager, inquir- ing spirit animated the ancient Greeks, keeping them youthful and forward-looking even in old age. The quest for Truth is always invigorating. If you follow this trail, you will have abundant satisfaction through the coming years. Perhaps you know best how well equipped you are to meet the responsibilities that lie ahead. Your Legenda will help you determine this. I know each one of you will find invaluable the experience you have given yourself in self-discipline, in logical reasoning, in courtesy and consideration for others, and in good citizenship. This will remain a part of you always, while the memory of facts learned may fade away completely. Finally, let me remind you that: Not in the clamor of the crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, But in Ourselves, are Triumph and Defeat. Our interest and friendship are ever sincerely yours, and we wish each one of you Godspeed. MADELEINE H. FREEMAN
