. FOREWORD Florida Southern College writes her highest degree on the souls of her sons and daughters. The parchment page of scholarship — the colored ribbon of a society — the jewel- ed emblem of a fraternity or sorority, the red and white symbol of athletic prowess — all these, a year hence, will be at the best the mementos of happy hours — like the with- ered flower a woman presses between the pages of a book for sentiment ' s sake. BUT If you live a long, long time, and hold honesty of conscience above honesty of purse; And turn aside without ostentation to help the weak; And treasure ideals more than ambition; And track no man to his underserved hurt; And pursue no woman to her tears; And love the beauty of noble music and blossoming orange trees — If you live a long time and keeping the faith in all these things hour by hour, still see that the sun gilds your path with real gold and that the moon floats in dream silver; THEN . . . Remembering the mist covered lake at dawn, the placid greenness of the garden, and the dream of your youth, you may say in reverence and thankfulness: have worn the honors of Honor. I grad- uated from Florida Southern College.
