[Seven] EDITORIAL T 70 R three years The Tower has appeared, not only recording significant happenings, but capturing in its pages something of the individual spirit which characterized the year. Each volume has recalled things which we shall always associate with Manhattanville, from the yellow glow of a lantern, swinging under the dark arch of the porte-cochere, to the leaves of the tree in the Quadrangle, weaving patterns on a sunny brick wall. Each succeeding edition has defined in its own way the spirit of strength and warmth which Manhattanville embodies. But The Tower of 1931 does more than recall; it looks into the future; it is the Year Book of the new Manhattanville. The red girders, ponderously settling into place, and the slow, steady evolution of the new gymnasium are symbolic of the Manhattanville of the future. They represent the first steps in the actualization of dreams of a new library building, of a graduate school and of another residence wing. But because of the heritage of the College, her visions are linked with traditions and ideals “rock-rooted in the silent past,” by the thread of a perfect continuity. The combination of the stimulating vigor of the new with the calmness and dignity of the old is her achievement. The Tower of 1931 greets the new Manhattanville.
