OME f lis are dreamers. Dreams of stupendous projeets, of fantastie futures, of new and untouehed horizons, filler lliroiigh our minds. But we cannot reaeh our dreams, for we are only dreamers. Some of us are builders. We are they who build jiigantic skyscrapers, found cities, organize societies, and erect monu- ments. But we build on the foundation of others; we take the dreamer ' s ])lans and carry them out. We are only tools, for we are the builders. And some of us are leaders. We bring the dreamer and the builder together and fit them into a working scheme. We are the directors for we have that acuteness of vision that sees ever thing in its proper relation. But we depend on the dreams of the dreamer and working power of the builder. We can only direct, for we are the le»ders. But once in a great while there comes among us one who is the dreamer, the builder, and the leader; one who dreams a dream, then builds that dream into reality, and wisely directs the child to which his dreams and work have given life. vSuch a man has come to sit in the chair of the President of the l niversity of Missouri. He has come from the School of Journal- ism, which stands as a tribute t« a seeing dreamer, a careful and painstaking builder, a wise and capable leader. And that is why, with President Williams at the head of the Administra- tion, we the student body of Missoviri, feel so certain that the I niversity of Missouri is entering upon an era of unparalleled achievement and recognition.
