ZJkread oi Gold Early in March, when I visited the United Nations, I saw what is reputedly the largest, if not the most beautiful, tapestry that has ever been woven, hanging beside the delegates ' entrance to the General Assembly Hall. My attention became rivetted upon this gift from Belgium, for I had never seen anything so magnificent. The texture was so fine that at first glance I mistook it for a painting ! Since I came home, I have thought many times of that tapestry, for in many ways our student body is like one vast tapestry that is still being woven. Each one of our students, past as well as present, is a thread — a golden thread, I hope — running her own appointed way through the mosaic of life leaving beind the delicate tracery of her own design. Each thread adds something to the unfinished product. Each thread is necessary — Pluck one thread, and the web ye mar — and we strain to follow the pattern it weaves in the hope that it will reveal the purpose of the Great Designer already implanted within it. The sweetest lives are those to duty wed Whose deeds, both great and small. Are close-knit strands of unbroken thread Where love ennobles all. As I write I muse upon those in our College this year, and I ask myself: how will the strands of their deeds appear on this tapestry in the years to come ? Will they hold fast, cemented with love for their Alma Mater, or — avaunt the thought ! — will they break and be lost in some emptiness of a starless night ? I pray that thread shall hold to thread, that the pattern may betray no trace of imperfection by reason of one missing line, that strength may rise up out of unity. I suggested a thread of gold. Yes, but not a saint-seducing gold that glitters to hide the meanness of its depth. 1 am dreaming of that pure and refined gold, alloyed with just the exact amount of Veritas, Virtus, Venustas to give it an im- perishable permanence; of that true gold which, like the sun, bathes all the world in a shimmering evening brilliance. It is best then to be a golden thread. Now, gentle reader, I invite you to these pages, for here some new weaving has begun. Perchance you too will find through its woof there run Some blessed threads of gold. S. L. OSBORNE PAGE SIX
