When one sits down to write about one ' s self and one ' s dearest friends and one ' s daily work, one gets a queer feeling, which seems to say, I can ' t tell anyone about those things ; you ought to come and learn for yourself. For I, you see, am prejudiced, and if I were to tell you of our Junior Class, our commonwealth of culture, just fluttering into life, of its patient past, and its fickle present, and its fixed and firm future, then you might find me out, and you might not believe all I say, and that would be so much confidence and time wasted. Perhaps, too, there is not ' much to be said. The past was long ; it was a year to break down old realities, and a year to build up the new, before the culture-ideal had a basis to rest on. Now that it has come, it is true enough to our minds ; its fickleness is all in its relation to our lives. And therefore precisely we have made this personal ideal our common ideal, that by mutual aid and co-opera- tion we may chain its past to our doings and leavings — bind it down to its duties as the guide of conduct. That is its present history. Its future is the time when we will look back and say : The work was hard, but not done in vain. 18
