TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF FEBRUARY, l936: AMONG the Fine Arts, that of living beautifully is perhaps the finest of all. lf we go into the out-of-doors, we find inspiration. There we have varied colors blended in perfect harmony, each hue exhibiting its own true color, yet graciously permitting strongly contrasted shades to flourish side by side without clash. Look into a deep wood. There the low fern and great tree thrive together. They seem to exemplify that most exquisite of all attributes, true kindliness. Watch the changing vistas, the brilliant colors, the harmonious sounds of the out-of-doors. All are a constant delight to the eye and the spirit. What finer work of art could one create than to follow nature's pattern and radiate joy in the harmonious kindliness of everyday life. gD:.4-,iM..sULeN- STELLA C.

4 A +f TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF FEBRUARY, 1936: 'F WE would know what people are we might ask how do they play and what do they do when released from duty? A knowledge of the hobbies and the interests apart from the business of an individual influences us in our estimate of his character. The theme of this Record is the Fine Arts, of which the highest development is associated with the broadest culture. No one can say that this or that in the Fine Arts is done by this or that rule, for there is something in their every creation which is not the result of standards set up, but is a part of the inner self of him who created it, the product of his imagination, of his feelings of beauty in line or color or tone or rhythm. For you or me to appreciate anything in these arts there must be that in us which responds to that inner self in the being who conceived and executed it. If we have that something our eyes and ears will bring to us a world of beauty. What to do in the hours of relaxation will be no problem, but rather the question will be how one can live long enough to fill his measure full of the treasures of the Fine Arts. May the years bring to you all success and happiness. WALTER ROBERTS. Eight
