A Dear Dickinsonians: It is frequently suggested that school is a preparation for life. No doubt that is true. However, that assumes a false premise — that life is in the future. School, and especially boarding school, Is life — an opportunity for real living. Here is society with many of its most vital relations — human contacts, needs, problems, and attempts to meet the same. The class room and preparation for the same offer opportunity to develop clear thinking, honesty, and persistence. School organizations help to develop leadership, co-operation, personal re- sponsibility, and the like. Athletics help personal physical development, working for the good of the group in the school as a whole. They develop courage, the fighting qualities, the ability to take punishment uncomplainingly, the willingness to submit to the rules of the game. School life with its high demands presents temptations to dishonesty, decep- tion, undependableness. Students with outstanding ability and others barely able to do passing work offer the challenge of the strong and the weak. Here you find some carrying their own work and active in all affairs for the betterment of the school, while you have others who arc forever a burden to school, society and their fellow students. In other words, school is a cross section of real for life, but life itself. It is fair to assume that your attitude here what may be expected of you later. A careful self-examination will show to which group you belong and what you will need to do and want to do to make a real contribution to the larger society into which you go from school. It is our fond hope that Life at Dickinson has shown you both the joy and the how of noble living and will act as an inspiration for the future. To every man there openeth a way, And the high will takes the high road, And the low soul gropes the low. And in between on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro; And to every man there openeth A high way and a Unv, And every man dccidcth The way his soul shall go. ife — not merely a preparation ' ill pretty faithfully indicate :5N c z:i---y : s SP 1 9 3 1 .j :: - - Twenty
