Improving international understanding: Foreign Students' Night “In that tradition, then, let me suggest that all members of the College Commu- nity join with me in trying to look ahead, in seeking to discern the future needs of society, and in orienting the College to help fulfill them. This requires a joint ef- fort of self-examination, with one eye on what we are doing here at Mount llol- oke. and one eye on its relevance to the needs of society. Convocation Address, Sept. 22, 1957 . The Mount Holyoke tradition, as I understand it. is neither vegetable nor crackpot; neither stagnant nor muddied.' It is, as good tradition always is. the dis- tillation of enduring values, tested by time, the continuance of that which is proven good, tin rejection of that which is not good, and the constant rc-cxamina- lion. retesting and reassessment, of it-» values. “There i one aspect of tin Mount Hol- yoke tradition which, in this one hundred twenty-first year of the College, merits our especial attention as we start a new year and a new administration. It is an old idea, which, in essence, is always new. ‘ Here it is: More than anything else, it i the Mount Holyoke College tradition to be ahead of its times. Too often one thinks of tradition onl m as a form of looking backward. This our College can do. and with vast pride. But every time we look backward, at the great names o! those who shaped the destinies of the College, we find individuals whose principal characteristic was that they looked forward, farther forward than their contemporaries. They were quiet revolu- tionaries. who sensed a social need and anticipated, through the College, the ful- fillment of that need. »
