^  THE FRESNO STATE COLLESE COLLEGIAN
THE GREATEST GIFT	
The world today faces a holiday, a period
of gifts, wishes, and joy. The people within
that world attempt to forget for a time the worries, cares, and trials of the outside.
Individuals, institutions, and nations as well
as the world in general each have their desires.
A fur coat for mother, a sweater for dad, toys
for the children, etc. A new Union
istration building for Fresno State College!

Ah, Those Beautiful Webs
Of Yesterday—Shelved
Oh, what has  happened  to
Ideas of yesteryear?
What has happened to an idea fostered and
nurtured by certain departments of colleges?
What has happened to the idea that it is only
athletic squads that spreads the fame of this
Fresno State College?
Remember when it was thought that the
only way to increase the prestige of a scholastic
institution was to send some twenty-two lusty
young chaps on a special train to meet
other twenty-two lusty young chaps of another
institution. But what has happened to those
beautiful ideas of yesteryear?

McGrew, are appearing  throughout the bay    ^"t°",
area and Northern California presenting a series
of speeches to service clubs and schools. The
Music Department returns from a successful appearance at Hanford with their "Messiah." To
say that these two appearances will in all probability create a feeling of warmth for the college of Fresno State is mere redundancy.
Oh, jirhat has happened to those beautiful
ideas of yesteryear? Those ideas that an athletic squad is the only envoy of goodwill?
That beautiful Idea has been puf on the shelf
to gather dust, and it is feared that it will rest
there without much demand for its return . . .
