President’s Message Plymouth Teochers College was lucky to hove once hod on its 0 1 1 Ul a person os Robert Frost. Here in the beautiful natural setting with w ic we are esse , Frost found inspiration for several of his most famous poems. Here, too, can t e a u ty and students of today find challenge and opportunity to commune with nature, to think deep and penetrating thoughts about the nature of man and the universe, to wrestle with ideas and ideals and to make far-reaching decisions. While classroom and laboratory, club and convocation, library and debate all help to mold one's understanding and character, moments of solitary thought and reflection help to solidify one's concepts of self and to bring forth creative contributions to the world in which we live. May Plymouth leave its imprint upon you as it did upon Frost, and may he be a stimulus and a challenge to you to make your contribution of thought and action to a waiting world. £ 11 Harold E. Hyde, President
