- Vox Fluminis pa incaipal '4 .feilea Dear Girls: This year I am not writing a letter, but I am going to give you a few quota- tions which I hope you will read and consider: Many strokes though with a little axe, Hew down and fell the hardest timber'd oak. I shall pass through this world but onceg therefore any good thing that I may do, or any kindness that I may show, let me do it now, let me not neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. Remember it is not your position that makes you happy or unhappy, it'S your disposition. Quand on nla pas ce que l'on aime, il faut aimer ce que l'on a. Don't waste time looking at your hill- Climb it! If we notice little pleasures as we notice little pains, If we quite forgot our losses and remembered all our gains, If we looked for people's virtues and their faults refused to see What a comfortable, happy, cheerful place the world would be! Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make your- self do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not. Ad meliora! With best wishes, Yours affectionately, fd
