I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ising far o'er the haste and press of life We, the editors of the 1947 Hi-O-Hi, dedicate this book to the spirit of unity in men, and to its expression at Oberlin College. We iind its most immediate manifestation here in the spirit that calls us to weekly Vespers and chapel services, to a brief pause in the Learning and Labor, to a restful moment in which we can reorient ourselves to the world in which we must find our place. At Vespers, when we can forget our daily cares and feel an identity outside our own lives, we gain a sense of the greatness of the framework within which we live. We feel the constant presence of that framework, and we try to lind our place with- in it, knowing that othermen are doing the same and feeling their oneness with us., At Chapel Service we feel the importance of our college days in bringing the best that is in us to the life which has been given us. We feel the privilege of education uniting us with the people around usg we feel the common purposes we share, we know that our lives are richer and fuller be- cause of our college experience. To us, Vespers is a symbol of the attitude we hold towards life, and towards that part of life which is Oberlin. We derive from this community of devotion a thankfulness for all that has been given us and an inspiration to make each daily task an expression of good will through which the spirit of unity will be established in men for all time.
