Mill ur todays and yesterdays are the blocks with which we build. Longfellow At every pep rally and formal school gather¬ ing, we close with our Alma Mater, one line of which claims “A star in the dark is thy glorious past.” What is the glory of Wesleyan’s past? The fact that it was the “first college chartered to grant degrees to women” may be part of it, but it is only of minor significance compared to the many outstanding women who have spent a crucial four years here and then continued as leaders after college. They may have worn bloomers, large hats, and middy blouses, en¬ joyed silent movies, written flowery poetry, dated only under the watchful eye of the dean, and been forbidden to play bridge, dance, or smoke, but in spite of all these limitations they have excelled. Wesleyan has changed in many ways since the Rivoli campus welcomed its first class, but the traditional dedication to the col¬ lege shown by students, faculty, and administra¬ tion remains the most important factor of life here. The Wesleyan we enjoy today is a result of the ideals of the past.

jii.r IISBII oday, well lived, makes every tomorrow a vision of hope. Sanskrit The traditions we enjoy today are also an inheritance of times past. Our lifestyles now are different from those of fifty years ago — we listen to Billy Joel instead of Johnny Marvin; Jane Fonda is more familiar than Alice White; add-a-beads and jeans have replaced pearls a nd sweater suits. But we still scream at soccer games, act crazy before holidays, and practice hours for thirty-minute stunts; we still enjoy concerts and banquets and inviting guys to cam¬ pus and studying late at night. These more important characteristics of our earlier Wesley¬ an sisters have become part of us, and we share with the girls of the twenties the traditions and sisterhood that make Wesleyan unique. Now we are leaving our own inheritance. Every month we are originating new events that may or may not become part of Wesleyan life, but our successes and failures influence the plans of later students. As individuals and as a student body, our actions and attitudes are linked to tomorrow. The Wesleyan we are creating today is building the ideals of the future. I •■JfS ' U]l M
