Elizabethtown College - Conestogan / Etonian Yearbook (Elizabethtown, PA)

A college is the faculty; The fraternity of teachers and scholars, Unselfish, thoughtful, sincere, Patient with ignorance; Lecturing in words of four syllables, Some giving brain-cracking exams; The old professor- Wise with the experience of age. The younger prof — Filled with the facts of the modern day; The sympathetic dean — Always a mixture between stern admonition and kindly counsel, Asking students about their homes and parents. About their hobbies, girl friends, and ambitions. Weaving bits of philoso[)hy with casual talk, Sometimes touching the prosaic with fine poetry.
