THE DRAVVBRIDGE- Nineteen-Twenty So deep was the substructure, so carefully planned and laid were the foundation walls, so earnestly and prayerfully erected was this educational edificetwhich grew from lVIiss Mason's childish dreams, that to- day at this institution are admitted girls from many parts of the World whose lives are bigger, broader, sweeter and more useful to their home and nation from their intimate association with this broad- minded, liberal citizen of the great world. Cora .ffrfefe Pzzffuer The V CAQ.SllE ' T796 Future VVhen one' is passing the quarter-century mile- stone it is easy to let her thoughts wander back over the pleasant, sunny, albeit, cloud-llecked, road by which the eventful journey has been made-but, also, one must look forward. Though the end of the road that leads into the sunset may not be in sight, it is bound to be just be- yond that Wooded hill, or the stern cliff, or around the next pleasant bend, and that is why the alumnae, realizing that in the nature of events, Miss Mason's hands must some time drop from the reins, have set on foot a movement that shall preserve as nearly as possible to her girls and to the nation and the world the work which she so splendidly has done. In January a campaign was inaugurated to raise an endowment fund of live hundred 'thousand dol- lars to enlarge and perpetuate the school. Xvith loyalty and enthusiasm the girls have put heart and soul into the work. A spirit has pervaded the un- dertaking that has filled with pride and gratitude the hearts of Miss Nlason and her assistants. Vllith so much good-will shown the results are bound to be successful. Each girl who contributes of her time or her means realizes, so thoroughly, that she is helping to erect a memorial to her own youth, her aspirations and her idealsg that she is helping to carry on the work Miss Mason has begung that she has a part, small though it may be, in a great enterprise that is bound to add incalculable riches to the future life of the Nation.
