Benjamin You are what you aspire to be, and not what you now are: you are what you do with your mind, and you are what you do with your youth? nA college must be judged not only by excellent teach- ets. but by the spirit and philosophy which permeate it from top to bottom. ttWe are not here to play, to dream, to drift; we have hard work to do, and loads to lift, shun not the struggle! Tis Godts gift! Be strong. t1 would rather go to hell by choice than to stumble into heaven by following the crowd. ttA crust of bread and a corner to sleep in, A minute to smile and an hour to weep in, A pint of ioy to a peek of trouble, And never a laugh but the moans come double, And thafs life. -Paul Laurence Dunbar SlMays Memorial Elij ah Mays
