EDITORIAL. Undergraduates! We the class of 1900 salute you! We have reached the top of the hill which you are still climbing, and before we set out upon our now diverging paths, we turn to give you our parting benediction. It is the only thing we possess which we can give away. The only thing? Out upon us ! There is one thing more. We have a precious charge which we must leave — a trust too weighty to put into the hands of any but the Senior B ' s — the care of the Normal Exponent. We found the poor paper nearly expiring, and, taking it into our loving fold have not only warmed It back to life, but have imparted what we trust you will consider as an added charm. Sr. B ' s, treasure it well, for a good paper is what any school needs, and especially this .school, to ro ' ise the students to greater efforts, to inspire generous competition among them, to give the school spirit an occasional shaking up. Life is not all study. Sr. B ' s. Not that we have found you in any danger of studying too hard. Not in the least. But we beg of you. who are to take our place in the school so soon. not to let the other classes fall into the habit of thinking that a good teacher can be made from paper and ink and the rules of grammar. (We feel competent to pronounce on the merits of a good teacher, you see, because we have had . ' o much ex- perience. ) It is not the intellect alone of the child which we must reach, and if we teach him more than books we must know more than books, even as a bit of coal in the fire can give out only such light and warmth as ages ago it absorbed from the sunshine. Keep this in mind, Sr. B ' s. Do not let the Nor- mal grow into a school whose atmosphere is oppressively psy- chological, whose only benefits are intellectual. Wake it up, Have plenty of fun as you go along. Encourage social activity among the students. One instrument with which you can accomplish this iS — yes, this old desoised school paper, which, if rightly treated will lighten your burdens rather than increase them, because through it you can gain an enthusiasm which will carry, you over all difficulties. It is not the busy person who finds the greatest difficulty in finishing all his work — it is the listless one. Undergraduates! We. the class of igoo. tor the last time salute vou, and turn away with sad hearts. The greatest praise our Alma Mater can have is the love all its graduates bear it — a love which draws them back to it again and again as children are drawn to their mother. And it is with regret that we turn our eyes in a new direction away from the road which we have traveled so far together. Yet. all its inequali- ties hidden by a merciful distance, the paths of the future look straight and smooth and we have no fear as we start forward. Students and Alma Mater, farewell!
