now the once-green of the trees has fallen, the grass retreats from its plotted edges, but youth runs lithely over the dying grass and youth scuffs through the burial mounds of leaves. down in the garden the pool is a mirror not of blue sky, but of shrubs brown in crisp death. fall effects life and death. page one hundred and six winter winter is here ... so awake to the clang of heat-forced pipes. walk out on snow that swerves like cornstarch underfoot. along the sidewalks banked feet high with diamond chips. look out through the windows where black trees are etched on white. and when night comes, watch the moon that is round and warm orange on the horizon contract into frozen white high in the cold blue. page one hundred and eight spring spring comes to bridgewctter on the day you wake early to lean out the window to crane for that bubbling bird, on the day you lift your burrowing chin from the fur collar of winter into the velvet ruff of spring air. certainly it is spring — when shoes grayed by winter ' s slush gleam unseasonably like driven snow in sunlight. and when you feel the golden preciousness of wall-sheltered dandelions, you rejoice in spring at bridgewater. page one hundred and ten summer just as those microscopic red fuzzies swarm on the stone arms of the building steps, so students pour out of dark shelters to take over the greenness of the campus, thankful that grass is the color it is, not pink ... or blue ... or red . . . just verdant green. they let the sun ' s rays hit on their eye-balls until they go in, blind in the cool black of cavern-like corridors with red signs, blinking at each end. perhaps at night a thunder storm rains down. then in tillinghast hall hands run up bared arms that sleeve-less dresses don ' t keep warm. cocky white flannels and ducks wilt at the freshness of the air. a half-hour later the stars reflected in side-walk pools wink at the spike heel that disturbed their stillness. page one hundred and twelve 1938 alpha reflections from the campus pond . . . four years are about to close . . . the end of a distinct period in our lives is near ... so why may we not spend our final week in reminising? . . . before speakers exhort us youth of the new era to look ahead to a brilliant future ... . . . the time seems a particularly apt one for the purpose of determining how much we owe to bridgewater ... to appreciate her in the one re- maining week, without waiting for time to mellow us . . . for we all are imbued with the lack of gratitude which too easily attained benefits bring . . ... to gain a slight measure of appreciation ... let us imagine a balance . . . into one pan we place the advantages which we as individuals have gained from the college . . . into the other the things we have contributed to bridgewater to build a better college . . . ... on the personal side, we see ... if we have applied ourselves at all ... a widely diverse background of knowledge and interests . . . allow- ing us to enjoy more fully the present and the future . . . we see a creditable fund of definite information in our chosen subjects, coupled with a workable philosophy of application . . . aimed to remove the parrot-like gualities from learning . . . added to this is a feeling of having something definite to offer . . . being prepared for a profession . . . as so many of our con- temporaries are not . . . ... if we have ever had the potentialities for becoming men and women . . . they have been fostered here . . . for let us remember that freedom and independence are very relative quantities . . . which are never quite attained . . . and thus let us realize that the very limitations which sur- round us have frequently been a better preparation for living than great freedom might have been . . . . . . these four years have been happy ones . . . the security from major worries . . . the facilities for enjoyment . . . the general atmosphere . . . are intangibles upon which you cannot set a value . . . what insti- tution could possibly offer more opportunities for ridding us of self-conscious- ness and lack of poise . . . which are such drawbacks in meeting the multivarious situations of modern life? . . . ... all these . . . and more . . . were offered . . . can we blame the college if we failed to take advantage of them? . . . . . . high on the other side hangs the pan with our personal contributions to the institution . . . could we mention the tuition paid? . . . the answer is obvious . . . . . . the college has progressed since we entered . . . but then, it has progressed in the past ... is progressing in the present . . . and will no doubt continue to progress in the future without our aid . . . tho we have shown cooperation, to some extent, with the authorities in achieving ad- vances . . . most of us have appreciated the advantage of added courses and added study loads . . . realizing that the ultimate benefits would be ours . . . yet we certainly did not cooperate to the extent warranted by the advances . . . the encouragement given to the already overworked faculty has been negligible . . . the crying-down of the college has not decreased . . . . . . what feasible plans of improvement have we submitted? . . . . . . how have we conducted ourselves off-campus to increase the prestige of the college? . . . . . . favorably . . . we hope now . . . but we are reminded that there was much room for improvement . . . ... all in all . . . we do not seem to have reached a very close equili- brium ... so let us humbly leave . . . with a hope that future classes may more nearly hit the mark we missed . . . realizing the great debt of the student . . . ambitious to fulfill it. page one hundred and fourteen
