THE PBESIDENT9S MESSAGE To THE M1cRocosM: In the editorial which introduced the 1872 Micnocosm to its readers, the authors made the following statement: It has been justly remarked that literature furnishes no correct portrait of the American student. The American student of today is not the traditional person of cap and gown with habits of thought and action peculiar to himself. Neither is he the gay, dissipated youth, who, with ample allowance at his command, squanders his money, his time and his health. The students of our colleges do not claim to be a distinct social class. Our little college communities are isolated fragments of American society, like it in all essential respects and hence peculiarly litted for a training ground where may be obtained the needed preparation for the broader field of action. If the perusal of our little volume gives to any a clearer insight of college life, or leads in any instance to a better appreciation of its advantages, our object will have been accomplished. The situation, both in respect to the pictures of college life given the public by popular methods of communication, and to the purpose of THE Micnocosivr in supplying a picture of a true cross-section of college life, has changed little in the sixty-five years since the editorial from which I have quoted was published. We congratulate the editors of the 1938 MICROCOSM upon this continued service artistically rendered. We are confident that they will achieve their purpose and commend the volume to all who desire to see Dickinson College life steadily and to see it whole. Yours sincerely, 4-brrO?a,a 38 NIICROCOSM Page 19 I I

Page 18 N--aww-ne.-.......a: PRESIDENT CORSON HE Freshmen know President Corson, perhaps, only as a person who makes speeches all over the country and pos- sesses numerous degrees. The Sophomores think of him more as an individual. They admire his bow ties and double-breasted suits, and, when they discover that he has lots of enthusiasm for football, he rises in their estimation accordingly. Possibly they feel better acquainted with him now because they have moved up to the front of the chapel and actually listen to those speeches they have heard so much about. But the Juniors and Seniors look on him:more as a friend and helper. For them his messages have real feeling, and as Upperclassmen they appreciate his true understanding of young men and women, their needs and problems. We admire him as a scholar, approve him as a representative of the College, and like him as a person!
