THE 4 7 KEC ID PUBLISHED B V THE 5 E R I R CLASS HfiVGRFORD COLieCe HRVERFORD PEnnSVLVflnifl WILLIAM E. LUNT DEDICAT ^OON after his arrival at Haverford, the freshman came to know a new J and awe-inspiring term: the "Jitter Session". If he himself did not have History I , his roommate did, and he saw the man who shared his room suffer through a weekly oral examination on the facts of English History. The freshman soon found, however, that the originator of these Friday morning tests was the finest lecturer he had ever heard, the fairest pro- fessor he had ever known. Under the thorough training of Dr. William E. Lunt, the newcomer learned how to take adequate notes and how to study and digest them. He found that Dr. Lunt always gave him every chance to express himself in class, and that the tall, distinguished-looking man behind the desk knew how to get at the student's knowledge of a subject. The men who will graduate this year realize along with members of the faculty and administration that William E. Lunt Is responsible in a large degree for the high scholastic standing Haverford has always maintained. His lectures &rQ for them a study in perfection, and his rigorous training has helped them immeasureably. These seniors, then, would like to dedi- cate this, their annual, to that man In an effort to thank him in a small way for all he has done for them. A Di scussion atter Cla Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2009 with funding from Lyrasis IVIembers and Sloan Foundation http://www.archive.org/details/recordofclass1947have F R E THIS is the RECORD, the annual which is making its first appearance, with one informal exception, since 1943, when It was discontinued for the duration of the war. This year the graduating men are representatives from every class between the years 1940 and 1948. For that reason, no attempt has been made to write a class history. We leave that work for future RECORD Editors in years when the college has returned completely to normal. We feel that this should more rightly be called a pictorial record for the year 1946-1947 because of certain features which appear in the fol- lowing pages. The Inauguration, for example, has adequately been covered; a photographic calendar has been included. This book is an attempt to return the RECORD to the position it should occupy among extra-curricular activities here at Fiaverford. It Is not a perfect book, but It should provide the basis for a finer and fuller annual next year and In the years to come.
