The change from one ideal of life to another is al- ways gradual, like the change in seasons. After a time of almost unnoticed alteration in nature, we at length gaze upon a world that hes been transformed.

During the ensuing vacation, many of our number were beaten to earth, to rise no more. Others came back, with renewed strength, to carry on.
