A Message from Dean Caldwell Mrs. Coldwell sends this message to adventuring youth: Greater than stars or suns, bounding, 0 soul, thou journeyest forth, To know the universe it- self as a road, as many roads for traveling souls. Not I, nor any one else can travel that road for you, you must travel it for your- self. Each man to himself and each woman to herself, is the word of the past and the present, and the true word of immortality. No one can acquire for anotherenot one; no one can grow for another-not MRS ADA HUGHES COLDWELL one. The earth shall surely be complete to him or her who shall be complete. The earth remains jagged and broken only to him or her who remains jagged and broken. From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines. I inhale great draughts of space; the east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine. Joyous we launch out on trackless seas, carolling free, singing our song of God. For we are bound where mariner dared not to go, and we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all. 0 my brave soull O farther, farther, farther sail! WALT WHITMAN; Leauew of Gran. Page Twenty

An Interpretation of the Objectives of the State College To develop clear thinking and the power of sustained attention that will enable the student to see what he looks at and listen to what he hears; To promote an intellec- tual curiosity and thirst for knowledge that will lead to discovery of facts and truth in new relations; To develop an open- mindedness that will give power, not only to distin- guish between black and white, but also to discern the different shades of grey in the complex situations of life; To furnish an environ- ment that will stimulate and encourage self-expres- ARTHUR G. PETERSON sion and the development of individuality and initiative; To develop habits of industry and perseverance and inculcate the truth that lThere is no failure, save in giving up, No real fall as long as one still tries, For seeming setbacks make the strong man wise. Therefs no defeat, in truth, save from within; Unless youtre beaten there, you,re bound to wmf T0 interpret the work of art and science and the problems of philosophy and religion in terms of life ; T0 sweeten the life by the promotion of enduring friendships; To develop the ability to see life in proportion, and to bring personal objectives into symphonic relation after the manner of William Henry Channing: 'To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with an open heart; to bear all gently, to do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the commeme this is to be my symphonyf Page Twenty-one
