 HONORED ALUMNI A book dedicated to a group of persons would hardly be complete without several promi- nent representatives of that group appearing in the book. Each man herein is a nationally known figure, an outstanding man in his work. These men pictured are typical of our eminent alumni. We may well be proud of them and benefit by the example they have set. Z. B. PHILLIPS. ’95 2224 R St., N. W., Washington, I). C. Minister of the Church of the Epiphany in the city of Washing- ton.

ouaiNiaa kanaoik ROBERT E. SNYDER 1940 WITTENBERGER 625 WOODLAWN AVENUE SPRINGFIELD. OHIO COITOR-IN-CHIir RICHARD CHE8ROWN May 20, 1940. Alumni and Students, Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio. Dear WittenbergersI Herein we have attempted to satisfy approximately nine hundred students, faculty and alumni. If our efforts have done this, the 1940 Wittenberger is a complete success. However, we know and hope you will understand the monstrosity of this task. We, therefore, ask you your indulgence while criticising errors which we hope aren't too numerous. We have tried to break away from the usual lay- out of books past in search of a change which may or may not have - according to your judgment - made this a better book. More color, more pictures and more elaborateness has been our aim and guide. The theme, to contrast the past with the Witten- berg of today, has as its purpose to light up some of the happy and yet shadowy memories of days at Witten- berg for those out of school. For those now in school we have endeavored to establish a record of what you have done throughout a happy year that has slipped quickly behind us. If you have found pleasure and happiness in turn- ing, reading or looking at these pages, you have in turn brought happiness and compensation to me, the business manager and both our staffs - our work has not been in vain — our end has been accomplished.
