Sale m pen Til. HI if a fori MANY a time have I wished for the opportunity to set forth in well- ordered words some statement of what we may term the spirit of Salem, and yet, no sooner is the opportunity afforded th an I discover that this very spirit persistently escapes my every effort to confine ir within the limitation of a paragraph, or to imprison ir in the definition. Like so much else that is true yet intangible, real but not material, we know that this spirit exists ; we are conscious of its presence perhaps daily : we see constant tokens of its influence, but we find ourselves wholly unable to ensnare within the mesh of formal statement this same potent ' but elusive spirit of Salem — and yet — I believe thai the material surroundings of Salem have much to do with her -spirit.- Those things which we see when we look forth, sometimes with errant and wistful gaze, from classroom windows; those things which greet us on our walk-, and which linger long in our memories when time and distance have separated us from the venerable school— the quiet and reposeful buildings which face the ancient square, the ivy-clad walls of the century-old home church, the view of picturesque tiled roofs, gable or dormered windows, quaint doorways with old-fashioned knockers, massive stone steps with wrought iron balustrades, arched transoms and tiny panes of a century ago; or, again, the great forest thai conies shelteringly up from the bi k and meadow, or the greensward in front, with its splendid trees. All this environment of the past, which looks with quiet dignity upon the busy present, speaks of strong, sincere ideals which are inwrought within the spirit of Salem. I believe that the long and honored history of this College, the story of its years of experience, of its pioneer toil in .lays when the higher education of woman was so generally neglected in our land, yea. even despis d ; ii- patient development of right ideals; its story of service during .lays of Civil War; all this — this spirit of an historic past and one so honorabh — with its exercise of impulse— with its call for loyalty, with its appeal to historic sentiment and its restraint of historic obligation — all this is inextricably interwoven in the charming spirit of .Salem.
