Greetings Trinitonians: For nearly three quarters of a century your Alma Mater has been starting sons and daughters on the pilgrimage of life more or less imbued with the Spirit of the Tiger—the Spirit which enables all who possess it to dare be what they profess to be; too strong to stoop to dishonest play; strong enough to accept defeat without whining and victory without boasting. The Spirit of the Tiger insists that it is better to have an honorable defeat than a dishonorable success. True Trinitonians realize that educated brains can be bought in business cheaply; that muscle is a glut on the market, but that real courage is rare. True Trinitonians have character, are not cowards in the face of criticism or oppo- sition, are not easily discouraged, work until the seeming impossible becomes actual. True Trinitonians have ideals that are lived and not just talked about. They keep their feet on the ground and their eyes on the stars. True Trinitonians do not whimper if the track is rough and the goal is distant. They do not complain of the storms of life, nor falter on the road through self-pity because stones cut their feet and blood is left on the trail. True Trinitonians play the game of life without bemoaning the fact that fortune has not been kind in some way. True Trinitonians are thoroughbreds. May the Spirit of the Tiger be increasingly yours. RAYMOND HOTCHKISS LEACH. Thirteen

MAUDE BENNETT DAVIS PAUL SCH YW ABS ETAL Dean of University and Professor of Religious Education The most important thing about a school is not its size, equipment, or athletic record. These are significant only as they, along with many other factors, produce that intangible some- thing called “‘spirit.””. Every school has its aura of school spirit. Trinity’s is one of friendliness, helpfulness, loyalty, and determination. Students who appreciate and identify them- selves with this spirit are true sons and daughters of Trinity. PAUL J. SCHWAB
