HANGING and shifting, whirling and eddying, the student tide rushes by. A class moves into the stream, is caught by the swift current and hurried on to the vast sea, while a new class takes its place and follows the same course. In the midst of this changing, hurrying tide, stands a mighty rock, strong and immovable, unshaken by the passing stream. This rock is the faculty. To them we pay tribute. Without them our college days would be nought. We are the temporary element; they are the permanent. Some remain but a brief while, like the coral that builds on the rock, to be soon washed away, but many remain while class after class passes on and the student body is vitally changed. From the faculty we receive our true inspirations. They teach us far more than schoolroom knowledge. Their sympathy and helpfulness and their strong faith lift us to a higher plane of living. T hey are our best ideals. By their aid we, who enter with foolish or vain desires, become soberer men and women and attain a loftier out¬ look upon life. To pay individual tribute to each member of the faculty is needless. To those who know them not, any expression of appreciation would be meaningless. To us who know them well, their pictured faces are more eloquent than words. The faculty, as a compact unit, grasp the true meaning of college life, and as far as may be, transmit that inner significance to us. It is our privilege to remain but a short time in our college home. As we look back over the few years, we realize that the pleasures and the gaity, the joys and triumphs of our student life would be barren indeed without the surer and stronger foundation of earnest words and real achievement. The years would be fruitless, were there no faculty to guide and control our activities. We render our tribute to those who have made our college lives worth while. D. M. T. 11
