FOUNDER S DAY In the almost-dark of 6:00 A.M. seniors group about Mary Lyon’s grave, shivering a little iri their caps and gowns, handing frozen packages of ice cream to bands of sleepy fresh- men who come hurrying with that willing-to- try-anything-oncc expression to carry on with real fortitude this old tradition of Founder s Day. Later, in a flower-banked Chapin before noon, the seniors and faculty process . . . Crimson and yellow among the folds of black robes, music on the balcony. President Ham on the stage, the smell of flowers, a deep feeling for tradition relived here, and a sharp remem- brance that if is important that we can keep the deep meaning of the tradition of Holyoke through adverse circumstances in a warring world. The tradition is old: the words are tuned to today. Shall we not sav that we recog- nize this to be not all yesterday nor all today, but of all time? Shall we not say that it endures?
