I i ' iShe Circling years By Polly Stone Hoopskirts and bustles! Pompadours and merry widows! Hairnets and middy- blouses! Bobs and berets! The world does move. And through the circling years, the little Decatur Female Seminary of 1899, housed in one-half the present White House, has become our Agnes Scott of today, in academic standards the equal of any woman ' s college in the world, its future a thing to look forward to with confidence and pride. We who are students here today feel that we have chosen the dearest of all the years for our stay on the campus. For, like old Janus, (whose acquaintance we made in Miss Smith ' s little class-room in Main) we look two ways. We know some of the professors and officers who were here at the college ' s foundation, and whose lives have gone into its development; we know this later group of professors, comparative newcomers to the college, like ourselves, but who are to be the builders of the future Agnes Scott. The pitiful years of struggle ith meager equipment were over before we came here; the ears when every department shall work smoothly with perfect equipment are certamh not in our day either, are the ? The live in the future, but because of our love for this place, its traditions and memories, our love for those students who come after vs, they live in the immediate f I I t

© le Qircling years future. We are here in that blessed in-between time when we have not reached per- fection, but are striving intelligently towards it, and by our striving we know that those who follow us will find a better and more perfect college. To them, perfection; but to us, that better thing by far, the bringing about of perfection. The world does move! And Agnes Scott ' s million and a half dollar development campaign, growing steadily now to a successful end, is an earnest wish that Agnes Scott ' s place as a leader among women ' s colleges shall not pass away. The circling years. On a college campus, as nowhere else in the world we realize how allied they are. For as timid freshmen we accept with both greedy little hands all that we find waiting for us at college. We lean on the upper classmen for leadership and advice ; and we look to the alumns for substantial financial support of campus enterprises. And then with the ever circling years, we find that soon we are upper classmen ourselves, — called upon to lead and advise the new sisters. Those who were upper classmen before us have joined the ranks of Alumnse, scattered geographi- cally, but in close touch still and giving us their devoted aid. Just a year or two more and we move up a step in the college family to alumns. To leave college forever? To immerse ourselves in new interests and friends and leave the new college generation at Agnes Scott to struggle alcng as best it can? Never! For in a college family, the older sisters always lend a hand to the new little sisters. Wliilc c an- -.tiuh-rUs, we live in a college built by the love and labor of former students, and we must hand on our Alma Mater to succeeding classes a little bet- ter and more perfect than we found it It is the only way we can pay this debt to past stu- M
