16 THE PROMETHEAN 'jpo Dr. John Oakley Spencer, who for thirty-five years has directed the course of our Dear Alma Mater, in part- ing we pause to say that yours was a noble service well ren- dered May the unfailing light which guided you in all of your undertakings, be reflected in the lives of the Class of 1038 who express the deep feeling of our predecessors

18 THE PROMETHEAN MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN Greetings : A college is life. It flows on endlessly, bearing its freight of youth- ful hopes and ambitions. The class of 1938 is caught in the current. During the four years that it has taken the current to flow through the portals of Morgan College, mutual pleasure and satisfaction have char- acterized our relationships. In our present time, youth leaving the college walls stand on the hold of new frontiers—not frontiers of dark forests and level plains, but frontiers of life values. Traditional mores no longer suffice. New standards, and untried patterns of thought and action must emerge from the present values which control the activities of men. In no other way can youth hope to remake the world in which we live. The future alone will reveal how well Morgan College has helped you prepare for what faces you. The real purpose of administration and faculty has been more than merely to assist you in the accumulation of facts. We are concerned about what you are going to do with them. We have tried to fire your imagination, to help you approach problems without bias, to choose rather than be propelled by impulse, to think rather than absorb, and to crave only the highest and best. The measure of a man is found in his inner wants and cravings. The real Morgan is a spirit. Those who have been permeated with this spirit, become one in a community of souls which hold high the stand- ards of our Alma Mater.
