)5 tEbe Male 11 on President Roosevelt, in speaking to the boys of Philadelphia, said, Work hard and play hard. There is no necessary conflict. The one should go hand in hand with the other. The student should have a time for each, and not let one interfere with the other. Neither play nor study alone can justify one ' s jjresence here. The Swarthmore spirit neither fosters the idler who is indifferent to the serious work of the College, nor the bookworm merely. Let these go elsewhere. The Swarthmore spirit would have the students find joy in recreation and play; joy in their intellectual life; and, above all, joy in the life of manly men and womanly women. Sometime since a parent of Swarthmore student said to me with much feeling, I was attracted very much by the statement in your catalogue concerning the aim of the College. He then quoted these words: The intention of the founders was to make the promotion of Christian character the first consideration, and provide oppor- tunities for liberal culture while maintaining a high standard of scholarship. That is what we want, he said. I am sure that is what the Swarthmore spii ' it demands. The College spirit to-day is the outgrowth and sum of the ideas, thoughts, and acts of the students, present and past. Let the present generation of College students be sure that the spirit is beautified and enriched by their presence and influence.
