We need things to live by, things more enduring than the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that we have been so ruthlessly chasing. Each of us wants something that will stand the test of time. And if we want to be intelligent hu- man beings, we've got to know something of other intelligent human beings, in other words we've got to know something of history, and literature, and phil- osophy. That goes way back into the classics which we modern people have discarded as so much slag in our education. In refining copper we used to throw slag away, too, until our chemists discovered that we had been throwing away vast quantities of gold and silver at the same time. All Europe admits We Americans are clever chemists and business men, but when we naively call such things progress, Europe smiles sarcastically and calls it the materialistic insolence of unbalanced minds . And to a great extent it is true, before our very eyes, some of our pet ideals, our material prosperity and all that, are proving chemerical and vanishing like the rainbow with the pot of gold. Progress isn't progress if it progresses toward a mirage. Hadn't we better apply that energy of ours that Europe envies, to a study of human thoughts and ideas that we have been throwing away as slag, to see if perhaps we may not find silver or gold? Only when we shall begin to think of Socrates, Dante, Shakespeare as live people like ourselves shall we be citizens of the real living human world and not passive caps in a mammoth machine. Such men have left their tracks in this world, and if we want to see where they lead, we must grow in our colleges to be real students and not mere course-passers. This is what St. Mary's helps the Pole to do. The Pole does not look upon its solemn beauty as a relic washed up out of the sea of the past, to him it is a light house, a marker giving him his bearings in the waves of change that sweep over his country with the centuries. We young Americans have our lighthouses, too, but we haven't been paying much attention to them. What do we know of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, for example except a few catchwords and an anecdote of two? It's high time to learn. I hope some of you will remember it when you choose your col- lege and your profession. EDMUND ZAWACKI '25 CLASS OF l9I4 REUNION The class of 1914 held a supper re-union the evening of Friday, June 22. The general chairman of arrangements was Mrs. Wallace Riedel to whom much credit is due for the success of the occasion. Miss Mabel Buckner of the New Haven High School was the competent and witty toast-mistress. Several members of the class responded to toasts on various topics of interest to those present. Mrs. David Riedel gave an illustrated travel talk her trip to Colorado, California, Mexico, and alson the Pacific coast to Canada, where she visited Lake Louise and the Canadian Rockies. This proved most interesting. Mrs. Wallace Riedel sang several selections, which were greatly enjoyed. Members present came from Columbia, Mo., New Haven, New York City, Springfield, Northampton, Westhampton, Huntington, Southampton, and Easthampton. Forty-five
