Wesleyan lj 1rst TLSLLYAN First VVhether you 'ue an alumnus or an undei gifiduate what does this signify to you Does it merely mean that we shall endeavor to keep the spirit of the University a unit, or does it imply a broader conception? Does it simply imply that we shall be loyal to VVesleyan first, and to our fraternities second, or is there a greater meaning hidden within these two words? To a great many of us Wesleyan First means something larger and broader than any efforts to do away with the selfishness on the parts of any fraternity groups. Wesleyan First means a Greater VVesleyan, a VVesleyan that will be a leader among colleges, a standard of excellence that is to be looked up to by others. There is a college with many handsome graystone buildings that lacks only college spirit to make it the greatest of small colleges. There are in- stitutions with ordinary athletic teams, others with less renowned facul- ties, others with mediocre equipment, but which are all striving for pre- eminence among themselves. I-n Wesleyan there is embodied a remarkable University. It is re- markable in its splendid faculty composed of men of national reputationg it is remarkable in its undergraduate spiritg it is remarkable in its new buildings that are rapidly transforming the once old fashioned institution into a University that is a University in all that the word implies. Wesleyan spirit has been remarkable during the past year. There are few colleges in the land that are free from political troubles, fraternity feeling, and cliques, but Wesleyan has every reason to be proud that there has been less of this narrowness during the past year than perhaps ever before. The undergraduates should feel gratified that the spirit of judging a man has at last been placed on a system of merit, and that group feeling has been thrown to the winds. Wesleyan has just reason to be proud of the many buildings erected in recent years. The Van Vleck Observatory has opened a department that is filling a long felt want, and the building is fitted with all possible equipment that could be utilized in the department of Astronomy. The new Dormitory for underclassmen recently completed is a worthy corner- stone to the second quadrangle, and the equipment of the building is all that could be desired. The handsome new Chapel with its perfect Gothic . 1' 1 '. L. . I .- ' C 9 ' . . .. 1 . . . S 1918 1
