Side-track on the way to wisdom . . . 8

Page 11 text:

Keeping our high tradition strong has been onr task and pleasure during four years at Wellesley. As the Class of 194£ looks upon the college for the last time before graduation, we see more clearly the whole meaning of our education. We realize, perhaps for the first time, the value of our hours of study. Until now, classes and instructors as a part of daily routine have rarely formed a significant whole. At this time, as we say farewell to familiar scenes, to classmates and instructors whom we have come to know as friends, we see Wellesley in its entirety. We know that as we leave, a new class enters to carry on that edu- cational ideal of which we are proud to have been a small part. We leave our heritage to those still at Wellesley, taking with us a deeper sense of the value of human endeavor and a strengthened appreciation of our op- portunities to find the way to truth. For it was here that we have seen in practice the education of not only the mind but the heart.

w, e walk along the road to wisdom with a Wellesley Stride. On invigorating fall afternoons or warm spring evenings, the way to the Libe seems far too short in comparison to the length of time we spend indoors. Iee-skaters in January and bicyclists in April almost deter us from our noble purposes. Once inside the Libe, we can bury ourselves in the Biblical History room, contemplate in Classics, nod over the newspapers, or browse in the Brooks Room. Then, too, we have the scholarly privilege of perusing the stacks, as Mary A. Childs, ' 42, is proving on this page. 9
