Viking_Yearbook_58

To the college student, the printed word is of grea t va lue, for it is from thi s source that we gain knowledge. If we are to attain our goals we must read volume after volume of material; often there is little enjoyment in such undertak­ ing. In many instances college students think they detest the word "book." But as we well know, not all volumes were published merely as texts for students. Many publications are used to preserve our history, and many are produced merely for reader enjoyment. It is the sincere hope of the 1958 Viking Staff that the volume we have produced will fulfill all the qualities previously mentioned. We dedicate this book to all who will open its cover in hopes that they will find much enjoyment in the follow­ mg pages.
