lllll UH Looking forward . . . we pray that our own generation will dare to say, with Shakespeare, The edge of war, like an ill- sheathed knife, no more shall cut his master. Today a very similar knife is carving huge chunks from the soon unrecognizable map of Europeg and as we wait for news of the crises and changes abroad, we try to lead normal and happy lives. From the world scene, we travel to a Treasure Island where the cultures of the very nations concerned have been brought together.And from that smaller make-believe world, we come home . . . to our stu- dent life, at Mills. cf 50

This has been indeed an fmmzs mirabilis to dwellers at Mills. From the college hearth on Pine Top looking toward the Colden Gate we have seen an island rise in San Francisco Bay. NVe have seen tur- rets and towers come into being carved in jade and amethyst. Mfithin the palaces we have found treasures from all lands- Michelangelo's benign Madonnas bless the children of California and Botticellfs Venus revives our memories of the splen- did Olympians who looked down upon mankind from snowy heights and were moved by what they saw to Uinextinguish- able laughter. The new island has gathered to itself the nlan-made wonders of the world. On the island we have found people from all na- tions thronging the highways, listening to the music of fountains and entranced by the fragrance of hyaeinth and orange blossom.
