To Rice Nineteen Twentv-Four I I i I i I i FTER tour years, enchanting vears of dis- covery and high adventure among ideas, with many a deep-sea sounding of their values, you are facing the morning star of your own new day. It is the same bright star that led you to whatever is good or beautiful or true in this place. On vour graduation morning it beckons to action and strife, even as the evening star of your matriculation autumn beckoned to study and reflection. In the har- mony of the heavens, whether evening or morning, it is the same star, alternately leading and following: even so do action and reflection, studv and strife, succeed one another in the rhythm of life. It hails the rising ortrails the setting of a larger luminary which indeed vou may not face, but in the light of which you will live and move and have your being. In turn it ushers in two worlds, the moral and material world of reality lived under the sun, and the imaginative and immaterial world of the crea- tive mind lived amongthe stars. Under its calm serenity as evening star, or dving challenge as morning star, you have been forming some of the ideals that with spiritual ardor kindle the hearts of men to purer flame. It glows, even as your ideal glows, in the darkness, and pales, even as that ideal pales before the white light of righteous- ness, justice, and freedom. Morning star and evening star are the same star, and the evening and the morning make the new day.
