A Word from the President “Please Stand By” These words have gotten a new meaning in our day. At one time their technical meaning was to assist, to give physical or moral support. When a vessel was in distress, another came to its rescue and “stood by” to the last possible mo- ment. Some of us remember an old hymn based on the nautical use of the phrase, —“Eor I'll Stand By Until the Morning. In a figurative sense more commonly than in the literal the phrase was used when a companion needed the presence and commendation of another and it was the part of true friendship to “stand by through thick and thin.” Here is the old military thought. When a soldier was hard pressed by his opponents and the darts were flying thick and fast, his choicest friend “stood by and. whether the arrows came thick or thin, each was by the other’s side. Radio has brought another thought to the words. One program has been finished with its effect of pleasure or tire and we are to be given another across the reaches of the air. The details are not announced. Perhaps the performers are not yet assembled. The conditions of the air for the next few minutes are surely unknown. It is a moment of expectancy and this element alone makes for much of the pleasure of the particular moment. I lowevcr perfect our appar- atus or the equipment of the sending station may be, there is every chance that something will interfere between the “mike” and ourselves. It is ours to be on the alert and not alone “to tune in but to be just as keen at “tuning out.” College life is like this.—like it in its immediate present and in all the days that are to follow. These “Milestones” are proof. Each has given its program in its turn. Kach has offered its best. Each has retired in the consciousness of a noble task nobly done. The announcer, 'File Spirit of Hope,” bids us “stand by. Good will, a spirit keen for reception, a vital expectancy, a will to get this offering and none other however good all the others may be,—these arc our contributions to a most pleasurable privilege.

Soul, the very quintessence of life, of activity, oft' on a loaf? Such an one could never stand by! And such an one. though instruments were refined to the nth degree, could never receive!
