You entered my life in a casual way, Perhaps you were thinking of other folks more, And saw at a glance what l needed; Or chance simply seemed to decree it; There were others who passed me or met me each day, l know there were many such chances before, But never a one of them heeded. But the others — well, they didn’t see it. —Grace Strieker Dawson

2 The Corinthian Mr. Korl R. Friedmann Girard College Philadelphia 21, Pa. June 16, 1915 C7o the ’iaJ.ua tzi oj 1 Q55 : Your group is about to Join a long unbroken succession of graduating classes. The lives and actions of those who have preceded you have given rise to the traditional belief that Girard sends forth young men of character and good will, well equipped by ability and education to become desirable and important members of their communities. Now you have the opportunity and the responsibility for continuing that great tradition. Those of us who have worked with you and watched you grow believe that you are well qualified to carry on. Before you go, pause for a moment on the threshold of your future to sum up your major assets. Count first your youth with its attendant good health and optimistic outlook. To it add a sound academic and locational education, that unique combination which is one of the most significant contributions of Girard to your lives. Consider, too, your social progress, the extent to which you have developed ease and poise, gracious¬ ness and goodwill in your associations with others. Do not forget your spiritual growth and beliefs, for, without these, achievement and success in any aspect of life can be without meaning. As you count, take heart cross the threshold and face the future with confidence in your preparation and with determination to justify the hope and faith that we place in you. As 1 wish you success in life, 1 would have you remember that the fulfillment of my wish is measured not only by the performance of high achievement or the accumulation of great wealth, but also by the affection¬ ate thoughtfulness you bring to your mothers, families and friends, and, especially, by the degree to which you practice in your daily lives the advice of that prophet of old: To do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” Sincerely yours. R. 0’iUdniann Vice-President
