12 DEL SUDOESTE 12 PRESIDENTS HARDY'S MESSAGE Harper's Weekly, once the most famous journal of civilizationl' in America, now remembered only by the generation that is passing, carried, in an issue of several decades ago, a small cartoon of a colored mammy and a little pickaninny, with a bit of dialogue that ran something like this: iiChile, how ole you is? Well, if you goes by what my mammy says, I'se six; but if you goes by de fun Ilse had, I'se a hunderd. Our iiState College child is now only two years old, going on three, and is chronologically an infant; but, if experiences make for development, it must be counted as at least of adolescent years. Beginning the current year with a large and crowded summer session, under the direction, as acting president, of Professor Irving E. Outcalt, with several new faculty members and with both president of the college and the dean of the junior college division absent respectively at the University of Chicago and Stanford University, the institution met the test, significant as to organization and morale, of ability to produce leadership from within. To both commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the faculty and the student body, the opening of the regular academic year in September brought problems in plenty. The large enrollment of new students, the taking on of upper divisional courses in anticipation 'of degree status, the administration of new collegiate and professional courses all along the line, kept the executive officers of the collete sufflciently busy. Student activities centered about the two focal points of the social life of the college and athletics. The really brilliant achieve- ments of the college in athletics are so abundantly recorded and illustrated in the pages of this chronicle that he who runs may read ein the true form of an athlete. All contests of 1922-1923 pale before that of the iibudget. It took the com- bined efforts of the state officers, faculty, student body, community and legis- lative delegation to win the battle. Having won our battle of the Marne, our next task is to use wisely the fruits of the Victory. Yes, we have lived, in this year of '23, soon to be a year of memories only. But they are such memories that those of us who have been privileged to partici- pate in them will never forget them. NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE
