Dean A FEW more days and another college year will close with a joyous and color- ful commencement season. Already parents, alumni, and neighbors are planning a visit to the campus to spend a few days among familiar scenes with old friends, reliv- ing college days. l or them it will be a visit to a shrine that symbolizes some of the finest emotions they have experienced. From the four winds, men and women of America are making a path along the upper Susquehanna and into the C atskill Hills of New York, to a little mound that rests beside a huge boulder which has the vantage point from which John Burroughs viewed this land- scape of rare charm, and dreamed the long, long thoughts of youth. Travelers leave the highway, climb the slope, and reverently seek C. G. SI IATZER. Dean the spot where rests one who has led them discerningly along the tinkling brooks and among quiet hills. How like this are pilgrimages to Alma Mater, the shrine of friendships made and perpetuated; of companionship with students and instructors; of books, the inalienable com- rades of the years; of promptings to think, to observe, and to appreciate the best that life holds. The stars come nightly to the sky. The tidal wave comes to the sea; Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high Can keep my own away from me. “ Waiting'—Burroughs. C. G. SHATZER Dean '«««■ Tm
