ATEIEMA Introduction A former President of the United States in an address to a body of students said in substance: Four years I spent in college, four years I was a soldier in the Civil War, four years I was a mem- ber of Congress, four years I was Governor of Ohio, four years Presi- dent of the United States and the happiest four year period of my life, that which is most delightful to look back upon (with the possible exception of the time spent in the army) is the period of my college days. With the class of 1913 these delightful days have almost gone. Here you came a few years ago from your scattered homes, strangers to one another and almost strangers to the great world about you. Here your eyes have been opened to many things. You have toiled over books and have, perhaps unconsciously, studied people. You have compared yourselves with your fellows and, it is hoped, to some extent have taken your own measurement. You have been trying to find, in the serious work of life that is before you, the place to which you most naturally belong. The college student may be removed for the moment from the great current of industrial and social life, but, like the man who climbs a mountain, his horizon is broadened and he learns more of the world about him than do those he leaves in the valley below. Col- lege life broadens the vision, corrects the judgment, enlarges and de- velops the intellect, increases one ' s knowledge of men and things, and adjusts one ' s relations to his environment as nothing else can do. Let us hope that every member of the class of ' 13 can give a receipt in full for all these benefits. Here you have tarried these four years past, but you must go away now. You have had a good time. Your days at college have been full of work and play, of serious toil and youthful jollity. Soon you will be scattered far and wide and in the future you will all meet together perhaps never again. As the years pass you will look back fondly and even more fondly to the days you spent here. You have all had your trials and disappointments, but they will seem smaller and smaller as the years recede; the lines that have divided you will grow dim and disappear; and at length your many experiences here will blend into a unit — the memory of a happy dream. That every member of this class may be truly successful in his or her life work and that in the end each one may hear the words. Well done thou good and faithful servant, is the sincerest prayer of your devoted Class Professor.
