DONN'YBROOK FAIR President David Allan Robertson WE students glance often and affectionately at lithe lighted house, the home of Dr. and Mrs. Robertson, and never fail to give thanks deep within us for the cheery message of those seemingly eternal lights-a message that is alternately symv pathetically encouraging and companionably gay, according to our mood. The Goucher campus without iithe lighted house would be inconceivable. A man is like his home; and as Hthe lighted house cheers our hearts, so Dr. Robertson himself illuminates our minds. His vibrant interest in everything and everyone is a source of inspiration to us all. Without overemphasis he manages to convey to us his ideal of complete fulfillment of the intellect. Not books alone, and A's and Bls on little blue cards, maketh the full woman, says our president; in addition to the foundation of earnest study one must seek music, art, and people. Only a man of Dr. Robertsonls vitality and understanding could succeed in tone veying so vividly to us his own passion for real knowledge. In some manner all his own he is able to transmit to us something of the enthusiasm which is so character- istic of his personality. In his hands the most commonplace things become inter esting, the most every'day happenings gain significance, and life itself looms large and inviting. Dr. Robertsonls Wednesday chapels have become, in the relatively brief period of their existence, a tradition which only the uninitiated care to forego. He possesses the rare faculty of addressing a large group as though he were speaking to each individ' ually in the quiet charm of his own home. It is this personal touch which contributes largely to the success of Dr. Robertsonls dealings with students. Sitting in chapel, listening to the melodious voice which takes us to littleaknown parts of the old world, or narrates bits from a life which is richly patterned with worthwhile contacts, or suggests lines of action and thought for the frequent periods of stagnation which beset even the best of us, we are filled with admiration for a man who can so easily doff the robes of state for a quiet chat with fellow-students. Dr. Robertson's coniidence in the future reality of Greater Gaucher has never faltered in the past few difficult years. His optimism is not the foolishly baseless sort, but rather a serene belief based on wide knowledge of the world and its events. With him we look forward to the day when the community of Goucher College Will be the embodiment of past hopes. Till that day we shall go on trying our utmost to justify Dr. Robertsonls faith in the Gouchet method of education, and also his faith in us. i231
