19 33 PRESCRIPTO 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 To the Class of 33 T IS our Wish that this brief note shall be considered a personal message to each of you. For three years we have faced each other across the unspanned river of student-teacher relationships. It is a sad but real necessity that no bridge shall be thrown across this chasm. It is perhaps a penalty for medi- ocrity, but only so long as the separation exists can we teach or are you willing or able to be taught. It is a necessity which transcends the dictates of our emotions, perhaps even a timid sort of heroism. This being so, the opportunity for exploration beneath the surface of our overt thoughts and actions has been very slight. We so often wear our observ- able feelings as a glove which may cover a hand of beauty or one that is scarred and ugly. So, confronted with mutual uncertainty, we dare not even guess how completely the object of our association has fruited. Even the most opti- mistic cannot escape admitting that the goal and the finish have been pitifully far apart. In the things which have been the visual objects of our association with you, you have shown the required degree of proficiency, a requirement so variable and so relative as to be almost entirely non-significant. If, on the other hand, you have learned from us anything that is noble, Worthy, or beautiful, then your voyage has been a profitable one. If you have seen anything in our conduct which appears admirable to your better instincts, then alone can our piloting seem estimable in the eyes of the World. So as a final Word, we would ask of you to cst a blind eye on insufficien- cies, short-comings, and frailties and let your good eye seek some trait or traits about which you can say, I admire thatf, If you can find such an attribute, carry it with you when you leave and use it as a guide when faced by perplexi- ties. Then, and only then, can we feel that our mission has achieved some degree of success. JAMES R. THAYER. Page Twenty Szx
