'through DEMCCRACY . . . :nt and Mrs. W. DIEMER lgfedicfenf 3 Weddage This year's edition of the RHETOR is another valuable contribution to the annals of Central Missouri State College. The year book becomes the permanent record of the achievements of this college year. What we have accomplished is measured not in terms of the multiplicity of things which we have attempted to do but in terms of the ideals which we have accepted and which we have endeavored to reach. Carl Schurz once said, Ideals are like stars. You will not succeed in touching them with your hands but like the seafaring man you choose them as your guide and following them you will reach your destiny . None of us ever fully reach our destiny because always there is something ahead that we wish to achieve. Perfection is never quite attained. Always we are reaching for the stars but always they remain far away. In the words of the poet Robert Browning, Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for? , We live not in our tomorrows but in our todays. We must have goals that we hope to reach in our tomorrows but we must do our reaching today which is always with us. Al- ways tomorrow is a little further on. We are never, therefore, quite satisfied with what we have done. Always there are greater things for which we must strive. In the reaclf- forward we grow in strength and in our ability each day to reach a little higher. College is the means through which we fclarify our visions and define our goals. College should inspire us to search for truth but it should do more than inspire, it should offer the opportunity for study and reflective thinking, for application of knowledge and skill in hu- man relations, for the evaluation of growth, achievement and service. We used to accept the conception of education for life. We now believe that education is life. We now believe that there is only one guarantee of abundant living tomorrow and that is good living to- day. This is true in all aspects of individual and group living. The world of tomorrow is being builtrin the schools of today. The leaders and the followers in all walks of life of the years ahead are now students in school. Yes, we prepare for our tomorrows with our to- days. In future years you will regard the 1952 RHETOR as one of your most prized posses- sions because it will be a book of memory of happy days in CMSC. May it not be a book of regret to any member of the college family. May it not be a reminder of opportuni- ties that were missed, of growth which did not take place, of preparation for life which was not realized. Page Thirteen - mmsv l. 221:07
