The Theme IN the fall of 1031, we returned to the college with its new name firmly fixed in our minds. We were at Massachusetts State College. When we met the freshmen on Fraternity Nights, we talked about the large enrollment, the new name, the new football coach, and the new Physical Education Building. Many inconvenient antiquities of the past were forgotten. Then we continued the year by riding on top of the world with a winning football team. Peppy cheering and lively band music helped us to show the buoyant feeling that we experienced. As if to let the world know of our rejuvena- tion, one of our athletes achieved national recognition and fame. Gradually we sensed that underneath these external signs a New Spirit had pervaded the campus. Attitudes changed. We looked at things in a different light. We saw real significance in our football team and in the events of the fall and determined that the New Spirit should become The Spirit of Massachusetts State. We became more critical of the old order. Things should no longer be good enough for Massachusetts but should be the best. We became discrimi- nating. Only what seemed the best of college life was chosen and that which seemed less valuable was discarded. Such was the New Spirit of Massachusetts State!
