'Due West,' you say, 'what's in the name?' As many a weary traveler turned his face due westward for rest, shelter and courage, so westward is our look. In the evening hush the golden glow of the sunset hour seems to call our hearts. Due west- ward, to the land of a glorious future, where all is peace and beautyg due westward to help a weaker brotherg due westward to follow the glimmering rays of the golden sung due westward to an undreamed of radiance that is to be. Are you awake, my child ? VVith a start I awoke from the cool crypt of memory to see again by my side the old man of hoary hairs. Gone are the spirits. Your dream is o'er. Already silvery shadows are creeping over the rosy hues. Led by the spirits of courage, religion and culture, we'd stoop to pray at the new ideal of the Due West that is to be. Oh you, in whose hearts be the living fire of a beautiful ideal, keep your spirit fires burning bright and your faces lit with the call of the sunset, due westward! EMMA REID, '24.

What Am I? AM not the rising bell, nor forbidden, nor a blue coat suit, but, if I do say it, the part I play in the melodrama of exist- for ence at the Womanls College of Due West is just as essen- tial as any of these. One Sabbath we have chocolate ice gg cream for dessert and the next we have peaches. One morn- ing in chapel we sing uldallelujah! Praise Jehovah, and the next day we sing I-lis Strength Sets Fast the Mountains. But I am ever the same, before and after rec , yesterday, today and on till graduation day. In fact, I am as constant and abiding as '6Cy, which, as every W. C. girl knows, is saying quite a great deal. ln spite of my dizzy heights of importance, l am not at all conceited. Be that far from me. On the contrary, I am very meek and modest. No one ever writes sonnets to me, or lauds my merits in the Associate Re- formed Preshyterian. Yet the demands for me are so universal that it is an impossibility for any business manager to fill all applications. And what could be more eloquent of the exalted position that I occupy in the girls, affections than the sighs and downcast countenances which are preva- lent when they are disappointed? I really am indispensable. It would be an impossibility to study for a test without me near by. Clflvery W. C. girl knows the futility of such an attempt? If you would get wisdom, enlist me in your service, and with my sympathetic assistance, with thy getting thou wilt get understand- ingf' I really cannot conceive of what the scholarship of this college was before I came. I am such an invaluable means to that desired end-a good recitation-that previously the girls' mindsf?D must have been woefully blank. I might be called the pearl 'of great price, for I am sure more of each girl's check goes to possess me than for any other thing. I am more pre- cious than Afs from Miss Stone, and more to be desired am I than a Page one hundred tfwezziy-three
