' etter to the Class of 1910 EAR MR. EDITQR,-In complying with your polite request to say something to the students in the I9IO Columbian, I desire first to congratulate all whom you represent on having progressed so far and so favorably on the way through the labors of undergraduate life at Columbia. l-lard as that life sometimes appears to you, impatient as you sometimes get with its restrictions and exactions, eagerly as you sometimes wish to be done with it, it nevertheless yields, in a measure seldom exceeded in later years, keen enjoyments, rational pleasures of high order, noble and lasting results to willing and well directed labor. Your predecessors, many of whom have written their names large in the history of their times, had not so many and such diverse opportunities as you have, and these opportunities will be to you, as you may use them, each for himself, sources of pera manent benefit and happiness or of profound and never ending regret. You can, if you will, do much to augment the personal interest and benefit of the life to which I have referred. Of several ways in which you could render service in this regard, I have in mind at present but one-the furtherance of the government of the student community by the students themselves, through their chosen representatives, so far and as completely as that devoutly wished for consummation may be found feasible. The way to do this has been opened to you, partly by your own endeavor and that of your associates, in the creation of a Board of Student Representatives. This Board, with an approved constitution granting it large privileges and powers in matters affecting student activities, and imposing upon it, of course, corresponding obligations, was elected by the votes of the whole student body and is representative of that body. It is composed' of able men, fully alive to their grave responsibilities and solicitous of so meeting them as to compel the respect and the confidence of officers and students alike. You should encourage and support it in every practicable way, co-operate with it by taking before it all matters that concern you and ,ar-e within its jurisdiction, plead your cases before it with all the eloquence at your command, submit cheerfully to its judgments and aid in giving them effect. If you do this, as I hope and expect that you will, and the Board acts wisely in the discharge of its delicate and difficult duties-and I have every confidence in it-a good step forward will be made this year toward the government of students by themselves in all those interests and enterprises that lie outside the curriculum, add so much to the vigor, the pleasure and the enthusiasm of academic life, and play so important a part in the full develop- ment of a college or university student. I Pray accept the assurance of my best wishes and affectionate regard, and believe me Sincerely yours, J. H. VAN AMRINGE. 9
