kiourzzge j ri HE knight of old was supposed to be a man of character and courage. These qualities are closely allied. The trappings of flowering knighthood have passed, but its spirit is a ripened fruit in the everyday walks of life. DR. EDWARD H. TODD President of llzc Culfugc To become a knight one had to subscribe to certain high principles, educate himself to know how to defend them, and demonstrate his strength, honor and courage in their defense. That which gave knighthood its glory, today makes for a true conception of social solidarity. There is many an uncrowned knight walking the highways of life in crowded mart ot lowly, lonely by-path. The knightly spirit has good command of two short words- yes and uno. It takes courage, character and wisdom to use them properly. The spirit of knighthood says yes without fear in choosing and defending a noble principle. A decisive no challenges every suggestion of retreat or temptation to violate one's pledge to be strong, pure and good. Courage will win admiration or contempt as it is used to preserve or destroy the rights and duties of men to their God and their fellow men. Knighthood is in better flower today than yesterday. It is the way one walks more than where he walks that displays one's right to modern knighthood.

page fuurtccn .le oyzz lfy f'1 HE real knight was a good man s s and true,', which meant that above all else he was loyal. To be true to his lord and his fellow knights was one of the Hnest virtues of the age of chivalry. In The Lady of the Lake, the loyalty of the banished Douglass to his king is praised in the stirring lines- DR. ALLEN C. LEMON Dean of the Collage Prufermr of Psychology Against his sovereign, Douglass ne'er Will level a rebellious spear. In this modern day also, It is loyalty, not success, that is knightlyf' Loyalty to friends, fellow workers, institutions, ideals, one's college, one's country, is one of the most commendable virtues. Loyalty is today so highly esteemed that one is ready to overlook slow head, slow hands, and slow feet where loyalty exists, while without it no skill or agility of mind or body makes one accepted. Loyalty is the foundation of everything noble in character. Other traits, such as courage, honesty, sympathy, center around loyalty. It is also thc key- stone of the arch of friendship, for loyalty is faith in others. One should be loyal to himself. He should respond to the urges of his better self. This is a continuous struggle, for no one can be his best without striving to be so. To thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. One should be loyal to his college. He should give his best to uphold her honor and her ideals. If he is loyal in mind and heart he will in turn receive from her many of the things in life he holds most dear. Your love for your college and your happiness in your college life will be in direct proportion to your loyalty to your Alma Mater. L ,, H., 9 , i .M r .. , .
