' I c) THIi Cl. SS 1 ' I ' M? : I am cr happy to lia c this opportunity of expressiniz my keen appreciation of tlic honor wliicli lias become mine b - the joint dedication of ovir Annual. It is pe- ciilarly ratif) ing tliat you, in your courtes ' and j ood feeling;, paid the same respect to me as to your former Principal, who served you long and faithfully and laid a founda- tion for scholarship which so abl - met the demands of her da . I take very genuine pleasure also in exprefs ' ng to th.e Seniors and other students of 1916-17 the happiness which has come to me through your imf ailing courtesy and ready compliance with m - requests. I use the word requests advisedly because any other measure has rarely been necessary. I think of each of you with interest and affection, an interest and affection which in many instances began during the years in whicli my association with the Mary Baldwin was that of a teacher; many of you were students in my classes and a strong feeling of affection was established before I accepted this position, one of enlarged usefulness but, at the same time, erf heavy re- sponsibility and serious problems. The prospect of directing the affairs of a large school has become a reality and now we find ourselves near the close of a year, the results of which have been most encouraging. Sliall I speak to you concerning the Mary Baldwin Seminary? ' ou know her renowned past, an honorable history of nearly three-quarters of a century, during which time many fair daughters have gone forth from her doors: some to preside over homes of happiness and distinction, some to enter professions and become useful mem- bers of society at large, and others to go to foreign lands in various capacities. Let us nause for a few moments and pay our respects to those exponents of the past, realizing that, wherever social efFciVncv ns required, a Marv Baldwin girl was readv to fill the position. V ou are familiar with the present advantages: the material comforts, the stately and beautiful buildi ' L ' s and the accomolished and thoroughlv trained faculty. ever readv to guide and direct to higher attainments. Do you know her future?. Shall we have here a school second to none in the land, a school conser ing the ideals and traditions of the past while never hesitating to adopt and absorb all that is best in the present, where scholarship is the watchword and where the transition from winsome girlhood to gracious, charming. Christian womanhood is the highest distinction? This vision comes to me when I see ou going about your daily duties, at work and at pla -. and I sav with all rexerence and humility that, if I can accomplish such an end, the i Iarv Baldwin will ref-nin her honored position among the schools of the land. What are mu troing to do for your Alnn Mater as the various activities of life onen before vou ? Will the real worth of the Marv Baldwin be reflected in your life? Do vou realize that lour success will be significant of the influence that the training and development here have had upon our character? If vou become fine, strong women with a certam blend of cbarm and arace, of courage and intelligence, vou will add your names to tho e whom the Mnrv Baldwin Seminary has been proud to claim as her daughters. The Seminarv will alwa3s follow vour career with interest, but may I ur ge ou so to direct vour lives that pride may be mingled with interest! In closing. I wish to thank vou for vour assistance n miintainuiL ' and perfecting all that I found in discipline, scholarship and character at the Mary Baldwin Seminary. Most cordially j ' ours, MARIA.NNA P. HiGGINS.
