CProspectus ONE hundred and Hfty years ago a group of men launched an idea which was to grow into the Dickinson of today. Last October, at the close of the Hrst century and a half of the history of the College, we paid tribute to their vision and their faith. Today their idea is still compelling. The college which trained Taney and Gibson and Baird, the ideal which Nisbet and Durbin and Reed moulded, the idea which commanded as its birth Rush and Dickinson and Wilson, is virile. Yet the confidence born of the success' ful struggles of the past must not blind to the obligations of the future. The duties of every Dickinsonian are plain. Whether he accepts them is whether Dickinson tomorrow will be greater than Dickinson today, whether the world tomorrow will be greater than the world today. As a man, every Dickinsonian owes a duty to his god. Whatever his conception of a god, that conception must inspire him to noble conduct. He owes it to all to be permeated with the glow of a compelling rnoral code-a code which will call him and drive him to win the things noblest and purest in life, which will send him to battle with the forces of evil. So inspired, with firm reliance on the strong hand of a god underneath and round about him, he will lead his fellows unafraid. As a citizen, every Dickinsonian owes a duty to his country.

As a member of the College, every Dickinsonian owes a duty to Dick' inson. However great that obligation may be to the alumnus, it is most sacred to the undergraduate. As a Dickinsonian he must cast aside a false allegiance to any group within the College whose pettiness and greed and lack of vision hinder Dickinson from reaching the high goal which generations have labored to attain. He must be generous and unselfish, singly devoted to the ultimate welfare of the College. Always he must be a Dickinsonian, a man whose shoulders are broad enough, whose heart is strong enough, to carry forward, as undergraduate and alumnus, the idea which is Dickinson. That the old College may continue to instill these principles today and in the years to come- -that is our prayer for Dickinson. 'Twenty-four - 'i
