.f 5'g1f f,N KI t From the Facult To Turn Gu.-xmwrics or 1933: You have selected for your dedicatory theme for this year's Templar the progress and development of Alma Mater. No other choice could be more appro- priate. None could more thoroughly challenge our thoughtful consideration. None could more easily evoke our uust.int.ed admiration. Your four years at Temple have been peculiarly fortunate. You have seenilher physical slruc-lure enlarged and beautilied. A modern stage has been set for Arabian nights! Home real .Xladdin has rubbed his lamp, and we have new buildings for old. You have witnessed, as well, the ever-increasing spread of Templeis social influence. She has touched dynamically every phase of life within the far-flung expanse ol' her activities. You have observed, also. that in the intellectual realm Temple has gained be- yond reasonable expectation. Her academic and professional standards have Won wide recognition. ller faculties have contributed to the orderly march of science and letters. and have left research the richer and more productive for their partici- pation in it. Nor have you been oblivious of the fact that Temple's progress has not been merely physical and academic. You have not. escaped the friendly touch of her idealism. You have been in a very vital sense the beneficiaries of her sympathy, her desire to serve. her keen solieitude for your happiness and your success. Alma Mater is in deed. as well as in name, a kindly mother. And, best of all. your enterprise of the four years now closing has been co- operative in its nature. Your own development has kept pace with that of the l'niversity. liar-h has given much to the other. You have often heard that any institution is only the lengthened shadow of a great. man. So can we say by analogy that a college or university hasks in the reflected lustre of its graduates. Certainly it can rise no higher than the level of their genius. Thus it is that at the end of four years you leave us not merely as our graduates, --you are no less our ambassadors. You have partaken in our development: by the law of compensation we shall share in your success. A friendship of four years will be prolonged to a partnership of indefinite duration. The hopes and good-will with which you were greeted as freshmen now follow you as alumni. The Temple of Conwell and Beury wishes you Godspeed and gives you a final toast-one for all and all for one!
