PREFACE E entered Yale and found that two new social forces were denting the age-old armor of undergraduate life: the sever- est depression on record, and the promulgation of the new College Plan. These new forces have remained with us throughout our four years, the depression abating, the College Plan pyramiding. In this Class Book we are going to show the slight change resulting dur- ing our first two years, followed by an almost complete metamor- phosis during the last two years when the full effect of the forces appeared. We are going to give glimpses of the old Yale environ- ment as still seen by our first years, and an estimate of what the undergraduate life will be like in the future as foreseen by the trend of our last two years. Yale marches on. This book has been published through the elforts of various mem- bers of our Class to whom I wish to express, on behalf of the Class, our sincere gratitude and appreciation: Iohn Keeney as editor-in- chief, Andrew Callan, Martin Donahoe, Donald Lott, and Stanley Morton, editors, and E. E. Fessenden, G. C. Bradley, W. C. Craig, and W. D. Lyon for their year articles. At this time I wish to ex- tend our heartiest thanks to Miss Marion Phillips and her assistants at the Class Secretaries Bureau for their invaluable aid. WILLIAM A. BAUER.
