Page 22 THE PRESIDENTS PAGE THE SPIRIT OF COE The Spirit of Coe is the spirit of friendship. It is the spirit of a team sacrificing every selfish interest to reach a longed-for goal. It is the spirit of a family seated in mid-winter about an open fire. Here good cheer comes when the strangers who cannot know the spirit of the fireside circle have gone away. Then those who remain, even the young- est, glow with the same generous enthusiasm and with love of the same ideals. The Spirit of Coe is democratic. Opportunities for self-expression tempt every talent and disposition. Aesthetic interest, intellectual curi- osity, capacity for moral leadership, the skillful use of one's body are all challenged to express themselves at Coe. The Spirit of Coe shines upon superior work and play. It favors those whose personal worth and honest achievement merit generous approval and recognition. The Spirit of Coe is not always sensed immediately by newcomers. It must be courted and cultivated. But it is worth while coming to Coe just to win the Spirit. Those who have achieved friendship with the Spirit of Coe are in the habit of saying, I am glad to be here. To leave is just like breaking home ties. HARRY M. GAGE.
