CHAPTER I N the days of Greece, there dwelt in the land of Thes- saly a young man, Jason by name. He was heir to the throne, but when he came to demand the crown, Pelias, his uncle, suggested to him the quest of the Golden Fleece. Accordingly, Jason employed Argus to build a vessel, and named the ship Argo. He soon found himself at the head of a bold band of comrades. The ship with her crew of heroes left the shore of Thessaly and after touching at various places was finally anchored in the kingdom of Colchis. Jason made known his message to the King . etus, who con- sented to give up the Golden Fleece on certain conditions : namely, that Jason should yoke to the plow two fire breathing bulls with brazen feet; and that he should then sow the teeth of the dragon that Cadmus had slain; Jason accepted the conditions. Having wooed and won Medea, the daughter of the king, he secured from her a charm which should aid in the contest. Accordingly, when the day arrived Jason encountered the mon- sters and speedily yoked them to the plow. Next the hero pro- ceeded to sow the dragon ' s teeth and plow them in. Up sprang a crop of armed men and rushed upon Jason. He resorted to Medea ' s charm and seizing a stone, threw it in the midst of his foes. Im- mediately they turned their arms against one another, and soon there was not one of them alive. Jason having lulled to sleep the dragon that guarded the Fleece, seized it, and with his sweetheart accompanying him, hastened to the vessel. In order to delay the pursuit of her father, Medea tore to pieces her brother and left the pieces along the line of their flight. The Argonauts arrived safe in Thessaly, where Medea, after preparing juices, poured them into the throat of Jason ' s father, thus giving him forty years of life. This ancient story has its parallel in modern times, nor is there need for us to search to find it. In September, nineteen fifteen, two hundred young women assembled upon Shorter Hill. President A. W. Van Hoose, together with the Faculty, told the students of a great mission, namely, a voyage in search of another Golden Fleece and the time to embark had arrived. 15
