Vol. 16 No. 4 (1969): Silliman Journal
This has been an eventful issue for the editors of this journal, for various reasons.
For one, we discovered accidentally the fact that one of the articles submitted for this issue had already been published in the Silliman. Journal two years ago, when we were not editing the journal yet.
So we had to pull out the errant article, which had already been printed, and substitute another of approximately the same length, which is not an easy task, mind you.
For another, a plague struck the University Printing Press just as soon as we submitted our articles to them last December. Well, the word plague might be an exaggeration, because it was really just a case of flu. But plague or flu, the effect was the same: about half of the printing press force was knocked down.
And then, to top it all, the manager of the printing press got married in December. So with half the employees down with flu, and the manager newly married, the press was paralyzed. is
All of this, really, is just our way of apologizing to our readers for the delay in this issue of the journal. We hope to have better luck next time.
With our new format and style, we feel there is no more need to introduce on this page the articles found inside. All the articles carry boxed resumés which should give the reader an idea of the contents of the issue in a glance.
There is only feature that we need to point out here: the list of M.A. theses completed at Silliman University since the graduate school was established in 1936. We are publishing this list for the first time. We think it will be of interest to future graduate students and researchers at Silliman.
