O' ' a X x 6 x tix 9 4 R qxlv , If ff .: , ,I 'X Iv HY are men ever fascinated b a shi and reat ocean i. , V Y P . wi J expanses? Why have they always sought a ship and 7 Lt I iii the sea for youthful adventure? . . . But why does a ii 1452.5 ' h ' b ' profound wisdom of the past ever crouc in su mis- siveness to the uncertainties of a future? .... Perhaps men are like ships! Like massive liners ever colorful and representative of millions in capitalg like lowly tugs never venturing from the fogs of the harborg or like ancient wind-jammers the bravest of them all .... Men as shipsg the black depths of the ocean as the future's uncertainties! An ever active mass of them on a vastness of water that opposes idleness and strains to tear them away from anchor chains and hawsers. They slip across the seas with ports of destination leagues ahead. Between are mile on mile of heaving billows that ceaselessly slip astern . . . between are all the uncertainties of time and chance, fair weather with favorable winds and a foaming wake, or a shrieking gale and mountainous seas that snatch at scudding low, black clouds .... A mere speck afloat on the surrounding immensity of the ocean .... Blown off the course in a sudden hurricaneg sounding along a dangerous lee shore in hopeless fogsg or becalmed in the great stagnant sea of Sargasso. The science of modern navigation, the study of charts, the knowledge of advantageous currents, tides to be awaited, shoals and reefs to be avoided, are the necessary guides. The ship must be strong and the captain brave. The compass, the sextant, the chronometer, never fail for they are the instru- ments of science and intelligence. Those who reach their suc- cessful destinations do not steer by dead-reckoning. I9 l' L

Spirit of growth and flux We are strong in thy strength. The radiance of the morning sun, The turbulence of rivers, The momentum of speeding trains, The stability of trees, The fragrance of flowers and Helds, The beauty of women- Pluck at the cords of our being awakening them to strange harmony. We bathe in these expressions of thy restless urge towards fulfillment. DAVID L. WATSON. 18
