Treasurer of the College Nothing could have been more typical of Gilbert Malcolm than the talk he gave in chapel about his recent trip to Scotland. His witty anecdotes, his sure-fire sense of humor, testify to his Congeniality and warm heart. He keeps tabs on the alumni, visiting their meetings and solidifying their College ties. In jest we refer to him as the ingenious gentle- man who holds the College's purse strings, but seriously we admire him as a man who understands human nature so well that he always solves the varied and difiicult prob- lems that come his way. BERTHA HOFFMAN Assistant Treasurer To THE READERS OF THE M1cRocosM: Within the next few days you'll turn the pages of this book a good many times. Then you'll take it home to show it to the folks and it will have a place of honor for a while on the library table. Your parents will proudly show it to relatives and friends. Then, for a few years this MICRCCOSM will be shuttled around the house from table to shelf to trunk or garret. But after a while you'll fish it out again and turn the pages of your book once more a good many times. In your reveries you will wonder what happened to him or to her, and you'll want to see them all again. When that day comes I hope you will be able to look back to happy student days and I know you will hnd the friendships you have made at Dickinson will be the enduring ones. - Sincerely,

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.

Dean of lVomer1 T0 THE M1cRocosM: The MICROCOSM does a unique Service when it gives an opportunity I0 extend to the whole College and all Dickinsonians good luck and long life-all at one time and in few words. So best wishes to all. 8 MICROCOSM DEAR M1cRocosM: In the patois of alchemy, says Dr. Noah Webster, you were the Philos- ophers' Stone, the panacea and transmuter into gold. Heil, worthy heir of a great idea! More baldly, dear MICROCOSM, you are our Charles McCarthy, and the College is your Bergen. And a hundred years from now, won't that make some myopic researcher crackle his three by lives? ?..4. ' Page 23
