Qt resonance Our College , UR College, those words leave our lips with a patriotic fmt -.Q reverence, which only time and associations could impart. We love to hear her name upon the lips of men. ls it just -ffl 9 . . . CQ yj I because she is our college and shrine? Let us look into the test tube of facts and the crucible of truth. 11 ln the Hrst -N 1 place, we challengethose of vision to point us to a more 4 -,j healthful and beautiful place. The larger towns and nearby ' A ' cities are not slow to recognize the fact. You may see them taking their vacation in our community, you may see them as they appear to meditate and drink in the natural and artificial beauty ofour campus. 11 Alfred has always been characterized by warm sympathy for young people hungry for education and dependent on their own exertions. Today we are a rapidly growing University. Our doors are wide open to all young people of worthy ideals. The true end of scholarship is service, teaching the high quality of high citizenship. What Alfred aims.to do, is to incul- cate such to the making of a man ready to meet moral crises, to stand H1111 in epidemics of opinion. 11 Alfred has been a pioneer in founding institutions oflearningg she has also been a pioneer in a democratic control of those institutions. Alfred has a unique college democracy and Honor system. The Honor system places the student on his honor and is a test of strength and character. The government of the students, by the student and for the student is a great opportunity to become acquainted with tl'LlC citizenship and the elements of leadership. 11 Leadership is a sacred trust and responsibility. The class functions, the clubs, the fraternities, the social demands and the religious life of our big University family, furnish exceptional training to any who may aspire. Do we need to worry about successful teachers and engineers after four : , Q 3, ' ti iff'-as : 31 ' umm? 5. if Ph.. ,f-QD years of this discipline? . . . 11 Athletics with the strong backing of our Alumni has been placed on an intercollegiate basis. There is every opportunity for participation fiom the ontests of classes and organizations to the systematic rigorous flickering c Q l discipline and training for the Varsity. . . 11 Lastly, our social life sapslrom the fountains of confidence, sell-con trol and true friendship Young men and women meet upon that broader basis which makes it possible that, Alfred's pride lies in manhood's clear eyes and ' ' ,Y womanhood's high stainless name. i . '1'l'hJ friendship becomes so knit together, that the vacation separations 1 L are often savored with a few quiet tears. It is at these times, when the thoughts of some future parting will have become a memory and the thoughts ofour Alma Mater will be a part, of our life. 13
