They are difficult to define and elusive to name. Yet they are apparent at every turn. They may be compared to Boston ivy covering a wall. The ivy was planted in some remote past alongside of a building because of its nature and disposition. In its growth it extends itself outward and upward upon the wall or building, becoming so associated with its support that they appear as one. In the fall the ivy puts on a gorgeous dress, thus declaring its services and engendering admiration. The season of display is soon followed by quietness. The leaves fall away, thus revealing the extent of its growth during the past season. Then it rests and recuperates itself for a new growth. The springtime sees it pushing out its leaves, under cover of which it stretches its arm to new areas, sinking its tendrils into the wall. Thus it continues year after year, adding beauty to the building which makes it pos- sible for it to express itself. Traditions of culture, scholarship and Christian char- acter were planted beside the walls of C. P. S. by her founders over thirty years ago. Those traditions have grown as each student generation has come and gone. They will become more potent in the college and in the world, as We send forth our graduates each year, in proportion as each student generation accepts and per- forms its part. Seventeen
