george van dbglee Dean of the College Prof. of Physics The men of Earlham like a Dean who can understand them. All the student body ad- mires a man who proves his integrity equally well in the classroom and on the campus. George Van Dyke has, in one short year, added his enthusiasm and sportsmanship to these fine qualities in becoming a popular and respected Dean. Earlham is fortunate in having the dignified and able service of Miss Comstock as Dean of Women. With tact and sincerity she has at all times lent encouragement and friendship to her helpful advice, It is with deep gratitude that we add our admiration to the deserved esteem bestowed on her by many, Clara Comafocle Dean of Women Prof. of Physical Education for Women

EARLHAM COLLEGE RICHMOND. INDIANA OFFIC OF THE Greetings to the Sargasso: In the early years of this century, an American statesman de- fined a patriot as a man who gives his country what his country needs at the time his country needs itf' I know of no better definition. The duty to die for one's country has been a favorite theme of poets and authors from Horace to Lowell. Dulce et decorum est pro patria mort. What are all our lives to save thee?,' The duty to live for one's country is equally imperative, although less spectacular, and that duty is always present whether in war or peace. The true patriot is not only the man or woman ready to give life itself for country in whatever way conscience dictates, but the man or woman who thinks straight, who speaks bravely, and who listens and insists that others have the right to speak. Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God, but '4God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard and defend it.'l This means to defend it in peace as in war, at home as well as abroad, by straight thinking as well as by courageous action, and above all, by cheerfully according to others the rights claimed for ourselves. Liberty and equal- ity are to a certain extent contradictory. They require fraternity to complete a consistent trilogy, and fraternity means tolerance of the opinions and respect for the rights of others, which. as a great statesman said, is peace, -peace for all mankind. Earlham has always sought to send out men and women to serve these great ends. ax
