Wc walked slowly and a little uncertainly up the front steps and into the building. We saw a fire warmly lighting the high dark hall. Over the fire place hung the picture of Cyrus Northrop with the motto: “Wc must train as many as wc can, hoping good things of all and expecting great things of some.” Wc wondered how wc could ever assume this responsibility. But under the motto sat a group of girls who had been molded by it, purposeful and broad-minded. Gradually we became aware of the nuances of that tradition. Wc discovered it and we forgot it in the bustle of living it. Now, as wc leave, wc recall it with bittersweet melancholy. We remember chapels, freedom under the honor system, a mass of blue with an incongruous dash of red. With pride wc say, “this is Northrop.” For Xorthrop’s tradition is not just staid ivied walls and scholars. Northrop is vibrant, dynamic, alive, because she is people. Though far away, wc will always hear three hundred voices singing at Christmas, see the pattern of bowed heads in chapel, and sense the feeling of mutual pride. Our first impression remains: Xorthrops motto sets the standard which fosters diverse talents. She does not demand absolute allegiance or perfection, but effort and responsibility from each. Xorthrop’s leaders make her rules; the trustworthy student charts her own course. Our tradition is two-fold: a constant standard and changing personalities. Wc define tradition to fit the need. The tradition of Northrop is her people, and wc are her people. Wc arc Northrop. S
