■ AT A TIME like this, when those who figure in the pages of the Halcyon feel a justifiable pride in their achievements in college, it is good to remember that what a person is and what he is going to be are more important than the things that he has accomplished hitherto. The successes and failures of college life are very real at the moment, but their permanent value is the effect which they leave on mind and char- acter. Life offers many opportunities to turn early failures into eventual success, and, alas, to turn early successes into failure. The dreams which a shy student dreams in college may mean more to him and to the world than any definite achievement which his friends or his teachers are able to measure and record. This is no reason for undervaluing achievement in the ex- amination room or on the athletic field or in any other of the thousand ways in which under- graduate life tests intelligence, character, and physical prowess. But it is a reason for courage in defeat, for humility in victory, and for a large tolerance toward those who do not fit into any conventional mold, whose achievements the coarse finger and thumb of college standards may have failed to plumb, but who may for all that have a contribution of great value to make to the world. Frank Aydelotte. ■ THAT WAS AN architect with a vision and great sense of propriety who placed over the portals of his handsome high school, in a nearby town, the motto. Enter to Leam. Go Forth to Serve. I never pass without admiring the archi- tectural monument he has raised and then tlie eye falls and lingers on his stimulating message which will endure as long as one granite stone rests on another. I would have wished our early architects might have carved an inscription such as this over Swarthmore ' s portals. But I know this thought and wish filled the hearts of the founders and that hope of its fulfillment sur- rounds each successive class as it goes forth. May this then be the message of the Board for the Class of 1936. Render your service with brave hearts and level heads and their by-products of high courage and common sense. With sym- pathy for the ills of mankind, its mistakes and shortcomings. With understanding begot of what you have learned. With faith in the Eternal Goodness of God. When your turn comes, as it will in a few fleeting months, to close Swarth- more ' s doors behind you, may you in full measure Go Forth to Serve. Charles F. Jenkins. Frank Aydelotte President Charles F. Jenkins, President of the Board of Managers

Frances B. Blanshard, Dean of Women € ■ WHAT WE ALL WANT „„ , ,„„. temporary writer, is to be quite sure that there is something which makes it worth while to go on living in what seems to us our best way, at our finest intensity. If you find this in college, you will have gained e best that it can give you. Frances Blansharp. ■THE COLLEGE STUDENT of today can take nothing for granted. Society is not waiting to offer him, on his graduation, a variety of ap- pealing opportunities. Men will not take him at his own valuation. His future, so far as his happiness and his usefulness is concerned, will depend upon something more than technical com- petence and specific training, important as these are. The questions which he will have to answer, sooner or later, are searching questions. Has he learned how to accept and measure up to responsibility? Has he learned how to cooperate with others, avoiding self importance and undue sensitiveness, and appreciating the best points in people very different from himself? Has he realized that man does not live by bread alone but remains unsatisfied unless he discovers the intangible w ' ealth which is hidden in his heart, the capacities which place truth and beauty within his reach? Life will press for an answer to these ques- tions. Harold E. B. Speight. Harold E. B. Speight, Dean of Men
