I. 1 N Dear Friends Dear friends, reproach me not for what I do, Nor counsel me, nor pity meg nor say That I am wearing half my life away For bubble-work that only fools pursue. And if my bubbles be too small for you, Blow bigger then your own,' the games we play To hll the frittered minutes of a day, Good glasses are to read the spirit through. And who so reads may get him some shrewd slgillg And some unprojitable scorn resign, To praise the very thing that he deplores. So, friends fdear friendsj, remember, if you will The shame I win for singing is all mine, p The gold I miss for dreaming is all yours. 9 -ROBINSON. FACULTY

To you it may appear to be only another episode in a college year. Rather it is the setting clown Z! for posterity of a record of another student generation. Today you are in the care of an institu- t ' tion whose imprimatur you shall bear through lifeg tomorrow you yourselves will be the builders of other institutions in the rapidly changing pattern of a social order whose lcaleicloscopic colors are both the charm and the despair of us all. ' f For the worthy meeting of the problems which you must face in these great days, your college would 3, V prepare you mightily. Vision with which to see clearl 3 mind with which to think exactly: stren th of l . . , . y . . . . g . body and.of will with which to act triumphantlyg character with which to give allegiance always to the noblest virtues-these are the strands from which Roanoke would weave the fabric of personality that ,rl shall be you, the man. More largely than we now realize, the college and its students are inter-dependent. Roanoke gives ,gm to you its best or you failg you give to Roanoke your best or the college fails. There can be no N cleavage between the 'spirit of the college and the spirit of the students. Each makes the other and ' f' together they go out on a great adventure of achievement. . I, 4 Thus I salute you as you write the record of bright college days. ttf l - U li22l t .u Yltfit if lit' sh litti it he t ft -1- 'ram x .1 ,, .EQ V ,g w . I mu .t fit U ell? FU his t-3'
