Tradition, we willingly agree. has a marked and potential valueg but let it be interfused with a spirit of advance, for only in such a corporation of ideas can progress be achieved. And this basic policy can be seen reflected in every phase of the past year at Western, marking it above the rest as the dawn ofa new era in the history of our University. Let us shun, at all costs, that super' optimistic attitude which savors of Mr. Micavvber or the Pollyanna prophecies. Rather let us realize our opportunities, the honor due to the members of the graduating year for the part they have played so ably and so bid them Godfspeed. Good Luck, Grads! Ti-in EDITORS 1, w.
