THE FRANCISCAN 1- 1930 S we watched the great steam shovels level the old gray wall, uproot trees, and cut away grassy slopes, it was sometimes difficult to realize that each apparently destructive stroke of those mighty shovels was in reality purposefully directed and necessary for the realization of our present beautiful campus. In our work as artist teachers, charged with the responsibility of moulding human material into high ideals of manhood and womanhood, it will often be i 1 our task to uproot character traits more resistant than the strata of rock en- i countered by the shovels of steel. i 3 4 1 Throughout our recent period of reconstruction we have had indelibly Q li impressed upon us that in carrying forward our work, each stroke of the chisel v must be directed toward a clearly perceived goal, that we must bring to our i . ! i I task courage, calmness, patience, and that even when our efforts seem to Q' produce no fruit, we must carry on, believing that ultimate success is depen- 5, dent upon the faithfulness with which we play our part. . fi L!

V . c W !.!'!!3jBcA!SlQScAc!.-r-r!.232 HERE is in the mental and spiritual life of everyone who has had a college career an indefinable relationship to the Alma Mater who ministered to him in the years just antecedent to his entrance into business or professional life. It is in those few years, rich in contacts with kindred souls and in experiences shared, that new aspirations are born and that realization of one's potentialities is quickened. Your Alma Mater is peculiarly distinguished for its traditions of intellec- tual honesty, for its early recognition of individual differences, and for its pioneering efforts to take account of these in the educative process. As an institution of learning, its influence has carried far and-its contributions have been genuine. These present days-your college days-will undoubtedly be remembered as among the most significant in the history of the college. They fall within the period of transition and of building. You are daily witnesses to the mak- ing of a permanent campus planned for usefulness and beauty. You have seen old buildings give place to modern structures and you are familiar with the construction program of the next five years. Most important of all, you are beneficiaries to the broadened scope of college curriculum and to the en- lightened elevation of its academic and professional standards. Surely yours is a rich heritage. To have been actively a part of the college in these great days of development is an estimable privilege and one that will become a treasured memory. ,.,.1f ,X X ' ' Twenty
