A MESSAGE TO COE STUDENTS This book IS a IUOV1llg p1cture It is a book of action Ev1dently the Coe student 1S a doer of deeds In former times such a man VY as much adm1red He IS today The man who can do things 1S an lmportant person The college campus as ev1denced by th1s book IS a busy place Those who do th1ngs are herein honored The business of the campus IS a tra1n1ng IU actlon, 1n1t1at1ve, cooperatlon and leadershlp But the do1ngs of the campus are not the whole of college life They were not 1n the m1nds of the founders of colleges E11 Yale, John Harvard, and even more mod ern Ezra Cornell and Johns Hopklns would be greatly surprised, lf they could return to earth, by a gllmpse of Amer1can college l1fe as portrayed 1n THE ACORN Even 1f student act1v1t1es are of iecent development 1t cannot be sa1d that they are an after thought D1d they come after thought? Or d1d they just come? The reader may answer, 1f he can Suffice It to say here that very many organized and 1nformal activ 1t1es are on the campus Here, for mstance, 15 THE ACORN Then there are all the rest seventy or elghty 1n number They are present on the college campus where young people are supposed to go to thlnk and not to do th1ngs To cause students to think IS and always will be the primary purpose of a college. But thinking IS very hard work and it requires much time. So if college folk do much thinking they will not have much time and energy left for valuable activities on the campus. Evidently I am leading those who follow me into a problem, a problem Which each will have to solve for himself. That pilot was counted a great master in the days of old, who could steer his bark between Scylla and Charybdis. So, too, is that college student a great master who can direct his course between the ekacting demands of study and campus life. Only a most skillful steersman can avoid shipwreck in such a sea. The Venture is worth while. Those who sail on college seas successfully are of all people most happy and fortunate. Many such men and women are pictured in this book. Long ago they sought in this country of ours a fountain of perpetual youth. They did not find it for it was not here then. It is to be found here today wherever there is a college affording genuine and Well-balanced opportunity for study and for practice in the difficult art of living. There is the fountain of perpetual youth. Fortunate are theywhose tasks are laid in such places. So I congratulate the students of Coe and Wish them well in the Venture of college life. H. M. GAGE..
