will the freshmen ever look? Behind this plaque stands the familiar sundial. On its base is the inscription-AS A SHADOW: SUCH IS LIFE — comparing this life to the shadow of the arm as it passes over the face of the dial. It reminds us that life goes ever on and, like the spoken word, can never be recalled. The unforgiving minute must be filled with sixty seconds worth of distance run. To the man who can do this is promised, the world and all that's in it. Moreover, when life sinks from its zenith and the lengthening shadows cross the dial, the wise man will harbour no re- grets for a squandered life.

did the seniors ever notice? The deed is everything; nothing is fame. This is the often passed but little noticed inscription at the base of the sundial in front of Carnegie Hall. For seniors, as they are leaving, this obscure sentence shall be a measuring rod, a standard by which their college lives can be measured. It is an exacting rule, for it demands action, not words. Famous is a man when men sing his praises, but deeds are their own herald. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts into if, said Einstein, but a man of value will give more than he receives. It is with this measuring rod of deeds that our seniors can judge the value or success of their college lives. For freshmen this inscription must be a warning. It is the hand of those who have gone on, reaching back with words of sage advice, born of experience, for those who walk the paths of Wittenberg now. Deploring the life whose only merit is the fame, it calls for lives of deeds. It does not offer praise or fame- NICHTS DER RUHAA—only the reward of a life of value. More than a warning, this inscription may be a challenge to freshmen. It is a cry for greater lives and greater works. It pleads for lives of service-DIE TAT 1ST ALLES.
