PKESIDENTS MESSAGE To tlu ' Students of I »2(M )27: THIS issue of Quips and Cranks marks another year of college service. For ninety-one years Da- vidson College has been at work training you and your predecessors for a life of usefulness to yourself and your fellowman. For nearly a third of that time some of us on the faculty have had a part in this serv ice. Some of you have been here for a college generation. The time goes quickly by. As each graduating class goes out from our Alma Mater, all of us, those younger in the service as well as those who have been for long time in the work, rejoice in its fine char- acter as well as tliat of the student body as a whole. The year 1926-1927 is no excep- tion to tile rule of work well done, character finely formed, intellects trained for service and high purposes fixed for a life of great usefulness on the part of the student body. It can hardly be supposed that any faculty has a better spirited body to work with and for. and be- cause of this we are encouraged in our work and to do our best. If I might be pardoned for making a suggestion for your good it would be this: Let each of you, graduate and under-graduate alike, take as his rule of life to do his whole duty always at the right time, and thus properly co-ordinate all his activities, physical, social, intellec- tual and spiritual. I am glad of this opportunity, extended through the editor of your Annual, to express my own personal, as well as official, good wishes to each one of you, the Student Body as a whole, and especially your Senior Class. Cordially yours, WM. J. MARTIN. President. ¥ if
