JW' 4 'x...4. F Administration ,S is M41 5. Page 18 . R. L. Mauotns, Ll.. D. PRESIDENT MARQUIS OW the time has come to say good-bye. Do you mean that you are going away, that you are leaving the campus and old friends? You are going away, of course, this is as it must be and should be. However, you are by no means leaving the campus, nor are you parting from your old friends. After your stay of four years, the campus is not the same, you have knowingly and unknowingly done something to it. And the col- lege goes out with you. It will influence your thinking and your living, no matter how far you may travel, no matter what is your work. We like to believe that you have helped the campus, and that the campus has been good to you. And what shall we say of the friends that you have met and made here? Friends may be in parts of the earth geographically remote, yet we know that their lives will never cease to be influenced by the asso- ciations made in college. The friends that you have made here were chosen by you, and also by them. That is the explanation of the bond that endures between you. You can not separate yourself from them, ever. VVe believe that these friendships have been a genuine blessing to you. Renew your campus contacts often. lt will refresh and rejuvenate you, and your visits will be good for the college. Very sincerely, R. L. MARQUIS, l'1'e.fifle11f. L JM ,.. l v. f i f-lr l i l 1 l 1 ig 'is Tl lil ill iii ri

Administration W. H. lirwer-1, Ph. D. l, PRESIDENT EMERITUS SYCHOLOGISTS tell us that no two individuals ever see the same thing. Each object means different things to different individuals. A given stimulus produces different sensations, and the sensations lead to different percepts in different minds. The final interpretation depends upon many elements: the individual's experience, his previous training and environment, his habits of thought, his self interest, his peculiarities and idiosyncrasies, his heredity, even to remote arrcestrv All these are components of the concept he forms through the per cepts he gains through the sensations. One sees, rn general, what he Wishes to see, what he expects to see, what he 18 prepared to see. Emerson says that he secs himself. Maeter- lrnck says that one meets none other than himself on the highway of fate. Burroughs says that the observations of most persons in their study of ani- mals rs untrustworthy, because each reads into the actions of the animals hrs own per sorralrty, hrs own motives, his own individuality. One may trarn himself to see what is best for him to see, and this fact towlrds its dutres 1nd responsibilities and toward the pleasure of living is deter mined lrrgely by hrs interpretation of what he sees, or rather by what he really sees or perceives And he may see always the good or always the bad bome writer has sard in this connection that the bee gathers honey fr om the vrlest Weeds, whrle the spider sucks poison from the fairest flowers.
