Evelyn Marguerite Waugh To the Graduates of the Three Year Elementary Curriculum Plymouth has tried to give to you in the classroom, contact with the great minds and principles of the ages, and to show, as only a good normal school can, in the dormitories, in the gymnasium, and on the campus, how these great ideas may function practically in a refined and wholesome atmosphere. , She has taken the knowledge and ideals with which you came, and adjusted them as necessary to serve you in your chosen field. Especially has this school sought to train you in what seem to be the greatest needs of the upcoming child; better citizenship and a more rational interpretation of, and adjustment to, rising situations. These are anxious days; it may be that you will not get the teaching position for which you arc specially trained, but there will always be much other work to be done in the world, and you are fitted to do it. In return for her care Plymouth does not ask that you seek only the big things, but that you do the small ones willingly and well, and that you take a wholehearted interest in life.
