DR. AUG-USTUS W. COWLES Firsf Presidenf of Elmira College Elmira's honored hisTory we sing in songs OT praise, and in so doing, Teel a liTTle selT- conscious. Perhaps we're TooTing our own horn. Though our own immediaTe hisTory is sTill in The making, we Teel ThaT The honored hisTory is also ours. The old. days belong To us, and we, To Them. To be sure, we do noT have among us a single dusT ruTTle, pornpadour, eighTeen-inch waisT, hair loraceleT, or Twelve-buTTon parTy shoe. We have noT masTered The arT OT peTiT-poinT or moTTo embroidery. We do noT marvel aT our daring To leave lighTs on aTTer Ten-ThirTy, enTerTain wiTh a midnighT spread , or advenTure TarTher downTown Than The Triangle wiThouT chaperonage. Nor did They, who made ThaT honored hisTory Truclg, or shag, or swing. BUT They were alTernaTely baTTled and sTimulaTed by college work. They did have bull sessions, Though The name and The conversaTion were more poliTe. They had Their high hopes Tor The TuTure. They were young and impeTuous and, perhaps, a liTTle cocky. --And so are we. They were, as we are, Elmira College women, wiTh all The honors, ololigaTions, and good Tun which The name implies. So iT seems parTicularly TiTTing ThaT in This Iris, we should presenT her . . .as she came Then . .. as she comes now.
