( (m immn Co t )t Class of iSinftrrn i inrtcrn HERE are great possibilities in the luinian soul, for uur per- sonalities expand and de elop as we live and grow by our visions ; dreams that call out our courage and will to make them real. During your college career I have watched your develop- ment and progress with great pride. Vou have had vision.s and dreams, and you have made them real. I have observed you under strain when more than usual ingenuity and keen judgment were demanded. You have assumed great responsibilities ; your wise leadership has given you a unique place among the college classes ; you have been active in promoting the honor system in the daily life of under-classmen ; you have enthusiastic- ally and loyally supported the Student Self-Government Association of your college. But that by which you will be remembered with the greatest esteem is your friendliness, unselfishness, self-mastery, and courage. Personal devotion, which maintains its sunlit enthusiasm through years of intimacy, is indeed a lofty kind of friendship. Love and devotion have been interwoven in all the experiences we have had together, and our sym- pathetic understanding of each other has given them a mellowed charm. It has been a rare privilege to know you, and a pleasure to work with vou, and for you. I am indebted to you, in a large measure, for inspiration in making my own visions clearer and more real. As you go forth in life from Salem ' s honored walls, you will face greater responsibilities, for you are capable of great deeds. On the clear dawns of to-morrow, in the triumphant noon days, and in the setting suns of the future may your life speak but one language — that of service for others. I have confidence to believe that your life work will be characterized by thought fulness and sane thinking. May it be crowned with abundant success. With happiest love and devotion, I am. Faithfully yours, w
