DEAN GF WOMEN As you Turn The pages oT This yearbook, you may someTime Tind yourselT dreaming abouT The Coe oT The TuTure. While you dream, imagine The Good Fairy suddenly appears To you, and gives you Three wishes Tor The TuTure OT Coe College. I wonder whaT your wishes would be. Your TirsT wish mighT be Tor more spacious and luxurious oTTices Tor The ACCRN and Cosmos. For The second, you mighT ask Tor a new Fine ArTs building, which would include an adeguaTe TheaTre and drama workeshop. WiTh iusT one wish remaining iT would be diTTiculT To decide beTween a menls quadrangle and a Tine sTadium, or, beTTer yeT, ThaT Ten million dollars be added To our endowmenT. When we Think oT The Coe OT The TuTure, iT may well be wishTul Thinking, Tor some day our wishes will be realized. However, neiTher The TrusTees nor The adminisTraTion has a magic Tormula Tor making dreams come True. Such addiTions and improvemenTs will Take Time, buT wiTh The presenT Tine group oT sTudenTs, alerT, keen, and sincere, and oThers like Them To Tollow, we shall evenTually see The TulTillmenT oT our hopes. ATTer all, iT is The caliber oT The sTudenTs who choose Coe which is oT greaTer con- cern Than buildings and exTenT oT campus. I am minded To repeaT here The words oT Thomas Huxley, when he was giving an address in T876 aT The opening oT The medical school oT Johns Hopkins UniversiTy. ATTer admiring The resources and poTenTialiTies oT This counTry, he said in closing: Size is noT grandeur, and TerriTory does noT make a naTion. The greaT issue, abouT which hangs a True sublimiTy, and The Terror oT over- hanging TaTe, is whaT are you going To do wiTh all These Things? WhaT is To be The end To which These are To be The means? The one condiTion OT success, your sole saTe-- guard, is The moral worTh and inTellecTual clearness OT The individual ciTizen. Like- wise, upon The worTh oT The individual sTudenT depends The greaTness oT any college. EducaTion cannoT give moral worTh nor inTellecTual clearness, buT iT can cherish Them and bring Them To The TronT. The colleges oughT To be, and may be, The TorTresses oT The higher liTe oT The naTion. May your dreams Tor The Coe oT The TuTure, and also your dreams Tor yourselves, come True! MARY S. BELL l?lT
