mm u t J a The Years in Retrospect In the following Senior Class section of this book, the reader will find pictures of sixteen Seniors who matriculated at Oglethorpe in 1926 along with a hundred and seven other freshmen. The remaining Seniors joined us as we proceeded along the way to graduation and happy are we in having them; they are a part of us, helping us to make the whole. Many, therefore, enter into the gates of college education, but few emerge from the fertile pasture wherein are fed hungry minds into the open fields beyond. We are fortunate in realizing the goal of our endeavors, but un- fortunate in not being accompanied to the heights by our classmates. To our absent men and women we send this message, and hope, by some means of mental telepathy, that it reaches them : the spirit you helped to found as freshmen, sophomores and juniors remains with us yet, and as we get our diplomas, we get them not as individuals, but as a group for all of us, for you, the departed, as much as for us, the graduates. The most prized of all the many gifts of Oglethorpe: freedom of thought, word and deed. We entered with the knowledge that we could think as we pleased. But, coming from many sections of the country where academic freedom is hardly tolerated, we did not take much stock in it until we sat at the feet of our professors and learned from them the truths of life without the limitations of the sectarian college or univer- sity. As a result, our minds have been broadened and enriched by the true philosophy of our being. We have not had to check the reins; we have not had to cut and injure our minds; we have given our minds with their thoughts the proper outlets; investigations. Yet, the most of us reach the same conclusion as that of our fellow-graduates from the sec- tarian schools, although we have trod a different and harder path. We know why we return to the faiths of our fathers yet we cannot say how our minds made the journey. But they were guided aright by some Pow- er. We began a journey to we knew not where, but like the world-voy- ager, returned to the home-port, happier for the beauties seen in the far- off crevices of human knowledge. Perhaps all of us can echo the words of Omar Khayyam, the friend of Nizam ul Mulk and of Hasan Ben Sabbah : Myself when young did eagerly frequent Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument About it and about; but evermore Came out bi the same Door where in I went.
