SEPTEMBER 25, 1915 September skies were never clearer nor the Thames a deeper blue than on September twenty-fifth, 1915, when C. C. breathed its first breath as a real, living college. Everything was new. The odor of fresh paint and plaster permeated the air. Carpentew sheds adorned the campus, along with boards and barrels, stones and plaster-mixers in the muddy court between Plant and Blackstone. A packing-box held the telephone in Blackstone. Thames Hall resounded to the blows of the carpenters' hammers, as the panelling was adjusted, while students and faculty edged their way among the newly unloaded chairs and tables, or tripped over the stone mantel-piece which still lay unnoticed on the hearth of the fireplace, to find some corner to eat ham and mashed potato, while Dr. Sykes poured the cocoa. The very newness made us half Freshmen togethereven the faculty But when, on our first morning together, Dr. Sykes rose to welcome us, he made discomforts seem part of the fun, and made doubts and distrust vanish forever. Two lines from Wordsworth rang out to us that morning, and have gained new meaning for us ever since: Bliss was it in that hour to be alive, But to be young was very heaven. Dr. Sykes told us of the wonderful new era in which we were living, and of his dream that forth from this college should go women to be leaders in tasks heretofore declared impossible for them. He placed in our hearts the C. C. ideal, and gave each student to feel her very real part in making C. C. great. Dr. Sykes' closing words have ever since clung to our hearts :s his first and his last message to us: Whatever we do, let us do it beautifully. afraid of being pioneers. We were all were strangers to each other. M. C., 20. Y., 19. SSUB? SONG Oh, we're the Class 1919, Our mascot is a submarine, We dive so deep we're seldom seen, Upon the sea of knowledge. Then, give a cheer for ES O EEnNY; Then give a cheer for C. 19, The best class in the college. Tune, Captain Jinks 16 ;
