jfnrehaurh AVE you, from a high vantage in our great city, observed the closing of day? As the sun touches the western horizon, it begins to darken along the river: then the dwellings on the banks are obscured. Farther up the slope the genuine little homes, the characters of which make the stability of our city and nation, are envelopedg then the marts and shopping places are blotted out, and all the business avenues become indistinct and shadowy. Looking in the direction of our school, the body of the building no longer receives the direct rays and is dimmed almost past recognition. But the tower, with its striking individuality, limns the sky like a luminous trophy--a standard in appearance with a high reaching staff' bearing by day the glorious ensign of the Republic, and now in the gathering darkneSs the stripped steel-- a slender forenngerf-points to the stars for higher and nobler achievements. The familiar tower stirs the happy memories with precious associations and traditionsg it speaks of great hearts and love For the institution. From the vivid ensemble, resting like an inset above the horizon, let us fashion an impelling Labarum bearing the mystic, triumphant HS -not South alone, in meaning, but Service: helping fellowmen and exalting permanent blessings.

MANLEY L. FOSSEEN HE century that is opening is all our own. The years that are before us are virgin pages. We can inscribe as we will. The future of our country rests upon us-its happiness and prosperity depend upon us-the fate of humanity may be in our hands. The American nation has every reason to congratulate itself on the beginning of its fourth century. Never have we faced a future with commerce, industry, and invention which promises such development and such prosperity. As we read human history, we find that where commerce has fiournished, wealth has accumu- lated, and science progressed, civilization has increased and with it women's in- fluence in politics, bringing with it reverence, devotion, and loyalty. The new voter is dreaming of a new era of greater humanity, less poverty, less crime, and less ignorance, and let us remember that in this dream of a new day that is dawning, these thoughts we have today are woven into our lives of tomorrow. Women in their future political work will strive for the victory of these ideas that will give to every family the right to be well nurtured, well housed, well educated, well employed, and well paid. The re-organization and reconstruction' of social, industrial, economical, and govermental questions must be met with a recognition of this new spirit. America has the greatest moral power of all the nations in the world. Sixty years ago our Nation was a child among Nations, now she towers above them all, and during these years this great moral force has been steadily growing. We are going to see America arise to a newer and greater glory than ever before be- cause of the service she is going to render mankind. Unfettered and independent she is going to be a powerful factor in bringing the weaker Nations gradually to take their place and play a positive part in world civilization. Everywhere we feel the awakened conscience that reminds us that civilization will perish if we put all the emphasis on material prosperity. Man has a spiritual nature that far exceeds what wages, houses and lands mean to him, and that is the worth of man. The women are going to help stabilize and humanize government. We are going to strive to provide healthful housing, wholesome food, sanitary working conditions, reasonable hours, fair wages for a fair dayis work, opportunities at a cost within the reach of all. Humanity is politics, politics create the government -Government must be a human agency, which satisfies the heart, is full of mercy, assisting the good, resisting the wrong. Educating the ignorant is one of the greatest remedies and the fundamental principles of freedom, which means obedience to law. We must be patriotic, loving our country before all other things, her happiness our happiness, her honor our honor. We must keep faith with our State, with our Nation, with our institutions and with each other, remembering what Webster said, Nothing can ruin our country if the people themselves undertake its safetyf, Page 6
