The Conning Tower of 1934 Gertrude Ida Shaw Registrar and Secretary to President Mrs. Mabel Haigh Mrs. Minnie Leatherbury Mrs. Edith A. Beal Matron Matron Dietitian Mary Lyon Hall Samuel Read Hall Dormitory The Open Heart Earth, why arc you so beautiful when all around are sad? Why arc you so joyous when many can’t be glad? Are you never weary in your work from year to year? Do you never tire of all your duties here? We work and worry and wonder how things ahead will come out. Are you, O Earth, ever troubled with cares; are you anxious or ever in doubt Whether each new budding springtime you’ll have enough green to go ’round, Or whether you’ll have to use some of the blue of the sky to cover the ground? O Earth, so quiet and restful, you may have sorrow to bear, But cares never trouble your beauty nor mar the smile that you wear. O Earth, so wise and so glorious, though you may have troubles too, Your kind heart has room in addition for all mortal cares brought to you. Emily Collins [18]

 Robert John Ernst To the Graduates of the Four Year Commerce Curriculum What is to be the “New Deal” in education, if there is to be one, is a question that should be uppermost not only in the minds of those who are about to embark on a career of teaching, but also of those who are already in the field. The world has seen many changes of economic, political, and social nature during the past year. We should expect to see many more changes in the future. In view of all these other changes it is but natural to expect some changes in the field of education. Our special field of education offers unusual opportunity for helping in this re-adjustment process. If we, as teachers, know the broad aims and possibilities of our commercial curriculum, as well as the special aims of the various courses in this curriculum, and if we apply this knowledge to the needs of the individual communities in which we work, then we will be rendering a service which will unquestionably justify its cost.
