iB4e 1923 It ' s lovely on an afternoon To go a-gathering wool — And fill my basket well with dreams Till it is heaped clear full. I pick them in the meadow, Beside a lazy stream ; Or find them high up on the clouds — Ah, there ' s a lovely dream. And then on winter evenings I knit up all the yarn That ' s spun from out m}- summer dreams, And store them safe from harm. In cheery firelit corners here gloom can never go — But some steal out the chimney And melt the winter snow. K. T. L2 J

IBHE iLlX yOCD 1929 Dr. Clakknce p. McCi eu.and It is largely because of the work of our president, ! )r. Clarence P. McClelland, that we have been able to have as the theme of our book — Progress. Dr. McClelland came to lis almost three j ' cars ago, from Drew Seminary, Carmel, New York, to carry on the work of Joseph R. Harker, who retired after thirty-two years of work to adxance the standards of our college. Dr. McClelland came with fresh vision and vitality to carry on the plans made for I. W. C. by those who love her. His first step, as we remember it, was the introduction of our present cut system , instituted in 1926. It was followed by the organization of the Press Club, which has taken such an active part in the extension campaign, and which is doing valuable work in the field of ])ublicity. Class segregation and the increasing enrollment necessitated more room in the dormitory, and at last we find the dream of each Senior class realized — the Senior houses were a reality. One, then two, were provided, but this year we find the college still growing so that a part of the class of 1930 may find itself lodged in a third Senior House. And then came the greatest achievement — McAlurray Hall, the new science building. Dr. McClelland furnished much of the untiring energy that made the endowment campaign a success and supplemented the wonderful offer made to the college by Senator James E. McAIurray of Chicago. Thus we see that it is to President McClelland we shall look for the expression of our success, and upon him lies the responsibility of our future progress. I 2S ]
