Tne Etonian, 1933-1934 ■■i i „ ■ i i i m...,- . ti ■■ I ■ v i ' iii.ii ' . ;■■■ ■■■■■ i v ttttt-i i . ' ■ ' ■nun 11 THE PRESIDENT ' S ETONIAN HOMILY ONE of the most significant benefits a student may receive from a sojourn of tour years in a liberal arts college is the widening of his horizons. Life should now be fraught with new hopes and ideas; it should be richer and deeper in the appreciation of beauty and truth than it was at the outset. It is the acquisition of these new vistas of delight that will prove to be a boundless reserve against ennui, a source of rest and recreation amidst the strenuousness and tensity of modern life. The regrettable fact is that so small a group of our citizenry can avail themselves of the opportunities of acquiring a culture that gives meaning to life. It is for this lack of horizons that we find in our age of mechanical efficiency a populace of imaginatively sterile, hopelessly utilitarian, and earthbound in vision. The college student, in order to appreciate the tidier meaning of life should con- tinue after school days to be a student of the world in which he lives. He should aim to know more of the beauty of the heavens and to call the Stars by name; he should look for the glistening gold and the symmetry of the dandelion ; he should delve into mother earth and see the past recorded in its rocks; he should note the emergence ot civilization from its rude beginnings and continue his interest in human progress; he should follow the modern achievements ot men in the political and in the scientific world; he should take cognizance of the thought ot our great religious leaders and be at home in the moral progress of society. It is desire ot this sort that helps one to see life whole and live at his best. To do less than this is to be only half alive. As a further help to a fuller appreciation of the winsome in life one needs to con- tinue the cultivation of a sound taste. It is important that one be able to recognize excellence everywhere. One who has caught the spirit of the masters can never there- after be content with the ugliness and the frivolity that our industrial age continually tuists upon us. The student who has learned to appreciate the artistry of John Mc- Cormack will turn in disgust from the modern crooner; the lover of the noble de- lineations of an Ibsen or a Shakespeare will scorn upon the cheap and tawdry per- formance; the admirer of the Sistine Madonna will not waste time upon obscene pictures and burlesque shows; the student who has developed an appreciation for the truly great in poetry and in the essay will frown upon the yellow journal and the salacious story. Thus by the revelations of beauty and truth we breed a healthy dis- content with ugliness and cling to the praiseworthy. It is my hope that each generation of college students may become imbued with such a knowledge of truth and beauty and have acquired a genuine touchstone so that life may become more beautiful, that sunny skies may be over the humdrum of the activities of life, and that manners may become more gentle, speech more helpful and gracious, and home more sacred and restful.
