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

MESSAGE FRUM DB. MORGAN AST year I presumed to speak for the Oldsters in greetings to the Youngsters. This year I will extend greetings to the Oldsters, but as one of them on the ground, and having unusual opportunity to speak to them'of our college. In 1874, almost sixty-four years ago, I first entered Dickinson College as a student, and, except for four years, have been connected or closely associated with it ever since. I have seen a faculty of five and a student body of less than Hfty grow to a faculty of forty and a student body of nearly six hundred. An endowment of a quarter of a million dollars has become over a million and a quarter. An annual budget of less than Eiwenty thousand dollars has grown to two hundred and fifty thousand ollars. ' These evidences of growth are pleasing, but no one of them, nor the combination of all of them, is so satisfactory as this further fact: Through all the years, and never more than today, there has been a growing appreciation and demand for good work by those on whom the college places its hand of approval. This is our joy. Ja, Dickinson tradition and James Henry Morgan are synonymous. During a half century this man has been an integral part of Dickinson, from his student days, through his professorate, to his thrice-held position as president of the college. He has seen Dickinson grow and expand to become an eflicient yet human organiza- tion. Deep must be his satisfaction upon contemplating that he has assisted in- valuably in this growth, that the present Well-being and future hope of Dickinson College can be traced in large measure to his foresight and ability. 8 DR.
