jc ft Or Collcgr )Q 0=- THE NEW DAY Dr. Emilie Watts McVea HE record of our Victory year is complete: the war is ended. Sweet Briar, looking back over the past two years, must ask herself searchingly : Did I fail as a college; did my students, II ; i -; li individually, rise to the height of their opportunities and respon- sibilities? We, like all other colleges, engaged in many war activities ; we raised a good deal of monej% we supported the Food Administration, we worked for the Y. W. C. A. and for the Red Cross, we cared for French and Belgian children. However, now that the stress has passed, we wish regretfully that we had done more. We think of our mistakes and lost opportunities rather than of our accomplishments. Upon one thing we have determined, the great experience of the past two years shall not leave us unchanged. With all our might we will hold to the ideals of courage, of high purpose, of patriotism, and of humanity which these stern months have taught us ; we will endeavor, to the utmost of our ability, as a college and as individuals, to do our part in interpret- ing to our generation the larger, finer meaning of democracy and of internationalism. Sweet Briar, even in its exquisite seclusion, has felt the throb, the heartbeat of the world. Her life has been enlarged and enriched by a share, small but real, in the activities and sacrifices of the nations of the earth. It has been our high privilege to have lived and wrought in the greatest years of the world ' s history. 13
