Yeshiva University - Masmid Yearbook (New York, NY)

Foreword Four years are but a brief span in history bjt to the young men who are this year being graduated from Yeshiva College the four-year period which now comes to a close will forever be significant. These years, however, mean something more than that a prescribed course of st dy has been completed. Like childhood and adolescence they are to be con- sidered a formative period, a period in which all-im- portant attitudes are developed — attitudes which are to last a lifetime. They are, in addition, to be looked back upon as a source of pleasant sentiments which will serve as elevating influences when we are humbled by diffi- culty. It is the yearbook ' s purpose to concretize the spirit of these four years, and therefore, the value of a yearbook, like that of wine, increases with the pass- ing of time, because when the memories become dimmed it is to the MASMID that we shall then turn in our attempt to revitalize the sentiments of these, our younger years.
