William John Scarborough ' (Mte % te from the ' Pte ideat ( t Ue The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. Not only does this volume mark another year in the history of Wesleyan, recording as it does the outstanding events of the past twelve months, but it focuses thought on values. For what shall it profiteth a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul. You, who ore now leaving Wesleyan as graduates look bock upon your time in its halls as precious memories. As you go remem- ber to take time for laughter, for objective thought, for clear-headed study, to walk in the woods and to remember the values of life as the days go by. We charge you to look back on college days with the realization that only those values which survive are worth giving time to. Therefore, lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moss nor rock doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through or steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The editors of the Murmurtnontis for 1948, in choosing the theme of Time and Change, have called our attention to a significant aspect of modern life. We busy ourselves with endless details of time- consuming trivia and miss the majesty of life as it flows ceaselessly by. In the deeper sense life, itself, has meaning only in terms of the objectives for the investment of Time. Wesleyan has sought in the past, and will continue to seek in the future, to give foundation to the meaning of life as invest- ment in service to others — in the name of Christ — OS the consecration of life lived to the full.
