SEACOBECK a PREFACE N THE BATTLEFIELD OF 1948 we have attempted to compile a book which departs slightly from the precedent of former years. Our emphasis has been mainly upon the interests and activities of the students themselves, and through this we hope we have presented a comprehensive picture of life at Mary Washington College. Group pictures of the faculty, a new Beauty Section and an enlarged section devoted to informal Student Life have helped us to accomplish our main goal The latter section, with its behind "the "scene shots of student activities, is a vivid reminder of big and small events in the year that has passed. We sincerely hope that in THE BATTLEFIELD OF 1948 we have given the student a full and satisfying record of her days at Mary Washington.
