Thus in twenty years he has come to repre- sent Mount Holyoke beyond the boundaries ol South Hadley—not only as an adminis- trative contact, but as a spirit and a per- sonality. He was one of the representative Americans who prepared statements for Hum's l airs from Shakespeare hdward R. Morrow's series, This I Be- lieve, and he spoke there in terms which may remind us of him and his college for many years to come: ly journey hitherto has been kindly, neither in a savage environ- ment nor in one protected from the shocks ol life . . . One is hard pressed to formidate a basic belief. To me it stands in terms of symbols: great people that I have partially known, great characters of the imagination that I have read and re-read, beauty that I have seen, and high purpose that 1 have felt ” Sir Galahad

A yearbook cannot bring back a person’s most prized memories of a college, its people, its scenes, and its moments. All it can do is gen- eralize. It can only suggest, and perhaps thereby stimulate and inspire each individual to remember Mount Holyoke personally and meaningfully i according to her own friends and experience. This book can offer her a seat on a bank by a lake where reflections are momentary because of a quiver caused by the wind, but lasting because the image was clear. It can ask that she contemplate that mirrored tree, and think of any tree, changing leaves in a year’s passing from fall to winter to spring . . .
