1937*
March is here—a short month perhaps, but like that interval between the dusk and the daylight, it seems to go on indefinitely with a new thaw each day. It's the month when we sit back and dreamdream those long thoughts of youth; when we make plans for the future and think back to the joy and work we've had. We see ourselves back in Hanover, and we slowly read:
"TO BE AT HOME in all lands and ages; to count Nature a familiar acquaintance and Art an intimate friend; to gain a standard for the appreciation of other men's work and the criticism of your own; to carry the keys of the world's library in your pocket and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you undertake; to make hosts of friends among men of your own age who are to be the leaders in all walks of life; to lose yourself in generous enthusiasms and cooperate with others for common ends; to learn manners from students who are gentlemen and form character under professors who are Christians .... this is the offer of the College—for the best four years of your life." (William DeWitt Hyde.)
The four years are over. We owe the College much. It seems a privilege that once a year we may contribute to a general fund which the College values highly. No brass plate is set up in Baker Library, but frankly, doesn't it make you feel good to do your share, even if it is only once a year?
