UL1 UU EJL3 1917 THISTLE [Z3 LSJ IZ3 Dean BeMsange To the Class of 1918: When Hie building of the Design School was well under way and the interior of the theatre being studied, the question of an appropriate motto for the school was considered and discussed at great length. Whereas the other buildings of “Tech’’ stood for Science, Industry, Household Economics, Administration, Athletics, etc., the purpose of the Design School was more idealistic, more vague in character. This School aspired to produce artists, professional artists, who by means of brush, chisel or pencil, by gesture, diction and expression, by sounds wonderfully varied and modulated, would interpret material things to us in such a way that the ideal in them would be apparent. And artists who would not only represent and imitate the real, but with their imagination create new forms, new harmonies, new beauties. To express this ideal, this purpose the phrase Life here reveals and enjoys its inspiration.” was suggested. But this was not quite satisfactory, it. did not sound well; and to arrive at a more concise motto someone tried to express the idea in French, that language permitting more concise phrasing. Finally, the motto which is now inscribed over the stage in the theatre, “Ici inspiration dcploie ses ailes, was chosen. I hope indeed that in our palatial building inspiration will unfurl its wings and awaken in us the highest ambition. And thus our aim, our particular task is set for us. It is a staggering order, yet one we must fulfill that we may be true to “Tech” and do our share. The Class of 1918 has done fine work and has contributed its best towards raising our standards and establishing good traditions. May your work in the future bring you happiness and success. Yours very sincerely, E. It. Bossange. Twenty-six
