DEAN IRMA HATHORN T THIS time when a four-year college education is available to an increasing number of young women, it is well for these young women to consider carefully what college has to offer them. A college education means more than freedom from the restraints of home. Even though freedom from home is one of the joys to which freshmen look forward, the intelligent young woman should consider that real freedom comes through system, through law and order, and not through discarding all restraints. A college education should mean, to the girl worthy of this education, that she learn to evaluate the opportunities offered her. A young woman growing into maturity needs to learn self-restraint and self-direction, not by the trial and error method, but by choosing worth-while interests and activities. The experiences of college life are bound to change a student’s view-point in many fields of thought. This change may be a deepening of former opinions or it may be a discarding of childhood opinions for more mature convictions. May the changes that come during four years at River Falls bring a newer, broader and more sympathetic outlook on life. 23

DEAN CHARLES G. STRATTON IT HAS been twenty years since I first became acquainted with the Meletean. During that long period, it has maintained a uniform excellence and has constantly increased its importance and usefulness. It is one of our soundest traditions. What would commencement week be without it? Although faculty members may. in time, grow indifferent, it is always something new and delightful to the students. It is pleasant to observe their enjoyment and appre ciation of it. It is pleasant to be asked to autograph it. even though some less agreeable task may be interrupted. This keen appreciation of the student body is the highest compliment to the management and editorial staff. I like the Meletean. It never grows old. Teachers and alumni come and go and grow gray with the passage of years, but the Meletean ever reflects the spirit of youth. I am glad to express my own appreciation of the fine work done by the staff and its adviser. I hope that every student in the college may be able to own a copy of this fine edition. 22
