T H E BOOK In every walk and phase of life, we are surrounded by an atmosphere created through the influence of the immortal Muses. A graceful step, a snatch of melody ... the inspiration of the Muse Terpsichore, bending low an invisible wand over the heads of her human heirs. Beside her, her sister, Clio, stands, and breathes a tiny flame into existence. Then, as the years roll by, the fire glows more brightly, shaping the annals of a mortal life ... the History of a being. Thalia, a wistful smile on her classic face, watches with interest the comedy of Life’s panorama, while Melpomene, in compensation for its joys, intermingles tragedy and grief, and Urania, the guardian goddess of the skies, creates a path of light ... the goal of knowledge in our school. Last, clustered in a group, the poet Muses speak in rhyme . . Calliope, Erato, Euterpe, Polyhymnia. Just so, a net is woven close about our lives. The threads of genius bind each individual with a different grip. Touched more firmly by their Muse protectors, the masters . . . poets, philosophers, dramatists, dancers, musicians, actors, artists . . . rise above the crowd. The Prospectus ... The Book . . . would reflect within its pages, for future conning of its contents, the cultural progress in the Past ... the influence of the Muses Today ... a preview of the masters of Tomorrow.
