To the reader:

This is a very unique issue of the Setting Stone Liberal Arts Magazine. In correlation to the theme of this publication, Versus, our magazine is two-sided: one side directly opposing the other with text versus image. Versus is a theme of oppositions, double meanings, and perpendiculars that parallel to common subjects.

That being said, you are about to view the image side of Versus. This side consists of im-ages of mixed mediums (digital and physical) that are paired together to display our defi-nition of Versus in some way.

The theme, Versus, was chosen during the idea-process because staff members kept nam-ing off themes of opposition. In turn, it was a unanimous decision of all staff to just have the common theme of opposition, or Versus.

All in all, Versus has been a great theme to work with. As a senior, I’m proud to see this finished product as the last issue of Setting Stone that my peers and I will ever work on.

Sincerely,

Morgan MurrayHead Editor
