During the last two years the policy of the Bema has tended to change from literary to pictorial. Every issue of the magazine contained more and more photographs. After publishing the first issue of the year under this policy the Bema announced that it was to become avowedly to an even greater degree a pictorial. Although not discarding completely the short stories and short articles of a very general nature, the magazine has now come to be devoted more than half to photographs, pictures of the athletic teams in action, of the athletic stars, of college events, and of views around Hanover. It has begun to serve the function of an illustrated mem book of the college year.
