N. Brooks The most important things in college are those very things not in- cluded in the curricula of any school or college in the country. Especially, because of the stress placed on the utilitarian and the concrete, they are likely to be missing altogether in the professional and technical schools. The prevalent concep t of even the liberal arts colleges as a preparation for earning a living has placed disproportionate significance on the earn- ing rather than on the living. What should one get out of four years spent in college? Learning? Yes, because only through the learning which transmits our heritage can the present be fully appreciated or the past interpreted. But what of the art of living, of learning how to live? Of what value the knowledge of how to earn a living, if you know not how to live and for what to live? Yet how many mark time in the greater job of living, while acquiring the outer habiliments of a professional training. Learning should be a part of living, and not isolated from it. Personality is the one permanent resource each individual has, but only as personality expands and develops can it meet the growing demands of life. The outlooks of a child cannot serve the adult. Resources within oneself should be so abundant and so vital that the enthusiasm for pursuing them commands the whole attention above and beyond any requirements or rewards in grades or offices. The satisfaction of achievement and of real comprehension is the surest foundation for an integrated life. Learning of any kind that does not become a part of the learner, is fragmental, unorganized, without any attendant appreciations, and robs the learner of that personality growth which should be her chief asset. Education in its broadest concept is the creation of an ever fuller life, and therefore of an ever expanding personality. Life ' s Music Aye, child, life is like music Ever variant, ever moving — The harmony of sweetness; the ecstasy of joy. The sadness of sorrow ; the discord of pain. Bright lilting tunes of our childhood days When care was all unknown, When Fancy held our childish minds Enthralled by rapture blown. Sweet, haunting melodies— elusive— faint, A memory of a tip-tilted moon — These are youth ' s sad fragments Of romance — laughter — love — so soon? Shrieking, squeaking, whining, the barrel-organ plays A melody of lurid life ; Where Beauty and Song are beheld as strangers ; Where life is naught but sordid strife. But, pensive and soft is the music of life When rest and repose seek hold. When life is subdued and serene And gone are the bright and the bold. Then, hushed and solemn, the tones of the organ In sweet, sad harmony play. The symphony of life is ended — May we come to a better day. Aye, child, life is like music Ever variant, ever moving. M.

Smith Student government is one of the predominant features of Dickinson Hall as well as of the College. Regular meetings are presided over by a committee of four at which meetings all the dormitory students are interested participants. The acquisition of a sense of sincere co-operation by every dormitory girl is the motivating factor of this organization. Tekoa Staff Editor-in-Chief Literary Editor Alumni Editor Editor of Faculty Notes Business Manager M. Ruth Reavey Almeda B. Kellogg Helen Jones Muriel Marshall Miriam Pomerantz Faculty Adviser Miss M. Grace Fickett YEAR BOOK COMMITTEE Anna Johnson Aline Demyttenaere Vivian Liebling The Tekoa Magazine and Year Book have been combined into one commencement issue for the year nineteen hundred and thirty-four. The staff regrets having been obliged to effect this change, but circumstances inevitably led to it. The formation of a genuinely literary magazine is not an easy task. The foundations and structure must be firm and compact. Every detail must be carefully planned and competently executed. Each issue must incorporate in it a spirit of progression, not of retrogression. The magazine must be in itself a representative work of the student body as a whole. It is only through the combined efforts of many that the Tekoa can survive. The support of a few is futile. Success is not attained through the workings of one small faction. Integration of effort should be the keynote of Tekoa supporters. It may be that some of you maintain the philosophy that Poeta nascitur, non fit. Such a philosophy has its own place, but then, latent genius can never be discovered unless brought to the front by some exercise of its powers. Inspiration may never come to those who only stand and wait. It is to the possessors of these potential yet idle powers that the rejuvenated Tekoa addresses its appeal. It is the duty of these same people to answer that appeal.
