:1r:.'..5:::.-:::::.a1:z-.: IF beside the boy from Iowa, the drawling down-easter with his dark blue blood and his Boston accent? How did he compare with the mask-faced honor student from China who stood next him in the college chemical lab? The testimony of a student with whom we talked is in point. I went from Yeat- man to a first class University known all over the world, said he. 1 took live courses the first year for a total of six- teen credits. The subject matter of three courses was entirely new to me. I'd never had anything like them before. In the other two, Yeatman stood my friend. I simply went to class and recited. My preparation had been so thorough that a short review in these two subjects brought me through and saved my time for the harder work. On the mental test the Yeatman faculty made good through the four years that fol- lowed. And some went into life from Yeatman -all finally arrived there. It was the pe- culiar experience of the classes in the neigh- borhood of 1913 and 1914 to be drawn into the Great llfar. Here, too, Yeatman played a strong hand. Two men met in a French town. One was bumping over a street torn up by ar- tillery in the side care of a motorcycle: the other was on the thirty-inch sidewalk. They greeted each other with a good deal of noise. One wore on his sleeve the insignia of a regimental bandg the other had on his collar the little castle of the engineers. Fol- low these boys back to Yeatman. The en- gineer took a Manual Training Course and the musician played in the orchestra. Qther forces went to make these men, but Yeat- man contributed directly to the abilities with which they served their country. And lastly, just life itself. Someone has said that the college yell of the School of Experience is silence, and its colors are black and blue. Many of the Yeatmanites are now old enough to know something at least about this fourth and greatest school. If the actual years at Yeatman brought an appreciation of the human quali- ties of certain iine spirits among the faculty that touched each student's life, and col- lege brought an appreciation of the high intellectual standard that Yeatman held up before its students, life has brought an ap- preciation of the true worth and character of the teachers job. This last is perhaps the last thing the faculty thought we'd un- derstand-and it was. Some of us have taught since then Sunday school classes of children to whom we explained the life of Christ, classes of enlisted men to whom we explained the Lewis gun, classes of sales- men to whom we explained salesmanship. And now we know. We know the energy that one voice must put forth to reach sixty ears. VVe know the disappointment of lay- ing iine things before pupils, things we believe in, whose beauty or usefulness we have enjoyed many times, and have those pupils question their utility, doubt their truth, or, worst of all, just stare like a fish -unconscious. We know that the machine that looked so well-oiled had its jars and its bitter personalities, and that the fire of bubbling kid spirits from the class was often not the only thing the teacher had to bear. And so as Yeatman goes out of existence and those who built it go elsewhere we, the student body, do not only say Thank you !', 'W e say, 'fCarry on! VVe understand! ,. Twenty-three
