To the Class of 1923: The Spartan mother was a heroic figure. She forgot agonizing pains, remembering only that she was giving a courageous son or an enduring daughter to Sparta. The memory of the privations she suffered in the upbringing of her children was soon lost. She dreamed only of making them worthy of Sparta. And when the day came to give her son to the state, she suppressed her grief, and sent him forth with the proud prayer, Go, njy son I Come back with your shield or on it.” For four years you have been the grave concern of your College. She has labored and fought for every advantage that might make you a worthier son of your city; and because of her labors and sacri- fices and of your own achievement, she has developed no little attachment to you. But the hour for departure is ap- proaching. Alma I ater takes courage in the thought that you have dedicated yourself, through four years of preparation, to useful service in our city. She rejoices in what she did for you, and sends you forth with the of service.
