A Message From The President TIME A dozen years at Palmer is a long time especially if you came down to spend only one year! During these twelve years I have had many memorable good times with boys and girls who loved Palmer and its ideals. I have seen eleven senior classes march to the rostrum at graduation with bright eyes and eager minds, to go to various colleges to spread good tidings, I have seen others with only one thing on their minds-time for a diploma-time to exit from the campus, I have seen others with tears in their eyes for the intelle ctual, recreational, and spiritual acumen they had received from their teachers and founder. What will I see when you march through the sacred Halls of Palmer? Have you heard the slogan The flight of time is urged on by the spur of the moment ? Your directors in the dormitory and dining room, your teachers and adminis- trators have all tried to imp r e s s upon you the above proverb, for we wish you to gain a seriousness of purpose in your lives and to develop the value of time. We have plenty of records of the remorse felt by those who spent their time without purpose. Read what Samuel T. Coleridge, the English poet wrote to his son about time, what Lord Byron, brilliant genius of English literature wrote about Time in his diary, and what Arnold Bennett, author, said in his essay, How to live in Twenty-four Hours a Day . If we have real u nd e r standing of the value of time, we shall want to be sure to earn our living in a way that is honorable, if we have a real understanding of the value of time we shall have a time to worship, a time for leisure and recreation, and a time for human relations. Henry Van Dyke said this about time: Time is, Too Slow for those who Wait, Too Swift for those who fear, Too Long for those who Grieve, Too Short for those who Rejoice, But for those who love, Time is Eternity. Let us hope that as you leave the sacred Halls of Palmer, you will remember that time will always be on your Life's agenda. How will you value its vicissitudes? Will you say- to quote Rev. J. G. Corry of Greensboro, N. C., I have been a fool or Commission kept . 14
