HIAA i '-. '-A-1'f iifiiftitilftl f-Q1 f r.3 . .523 3191? '1' f ' - TH E - COLVM BIAN - Gln the Gltaria nf 1912 RIENDS AND FELLGW STUDENTS: ln this microcosm of our University world, the ideal relation between the teacher l 'I 'lgxvq ' and the taught is that of elder and younger colleagues in the same pursuit after know- tx ledge and culture, the same effort to attain Hthe Good, the True, and the Beautifulf, It is a trite saying that no one can be a good teacher who has ceased to be a good Ll 'Jkt student, and I hope I may claim enough of that particular qualification to a good pedagogical reputation, to warrant my addressing you all as fellow students. When- ever lack of sympathy occurs between students and their teachers, it is pretty sure to be because one or the other side has lost sight of the true purpose and theory of organized educationg his work as student or as teacher becomes perfunctoryg he loses the true perspective, magnifies means into ends, minor details into features of highest importance, and so loses touch with the other party to the relation. The COLUMBIAN presents a wonderful birdseye view of student activities, some of them religious, some intellectual, some physical, some purely recreative. All have their places in the University life, for they represent the fourfold requirements of human nature, all are beneficial, so long as they conform to the real purpose of a University training--the highest development of one's capacities for service to the world. Their variety is most interestingg their total 3m0UUt iIT1prCSSiV6L the SPICCGSS with which they are conducted, most creditable. The one danger in them all lies in their being magnified into ends in themselves, instead of means to culture, strength and refreshed energy. To the student they loom big and importantg to the teacher, often, they appear trivial and insignificant: both perspectives are wrong. As a true fel- low-student with yourselves, I am glad these activities, exist, and I wish for you all, the utmost enthusiasm and success in so conducting them that they may not only do credit to the University, but enrich your own lives also. As representing the School of Fine Arts and especially of Architecture, whose students have con- tributed their share to these activities, even though you may sometimes have fancied us a little out of their stronger currents, f am grateful for this opportunity to extend a warm greeting to my fellow students of 1912. 44421.-N, -15-
