GREEN grass) flowers) and sunshine are always associated with spring. It is the sea- son of blossoming, culminating in the full growth of summer. But in the minds of college students, particularly Seniors) spring also brings the consciousness of rapidly closing school days, culminating in the romantic delight of commencement. How rapidly these four years have gone! That is your testimony, and it is mine. It hardly seems possible that the first class that I welcomed as Freshmen is about to graduate. Surely time is "like a vapor that vanishes away!" In ten spans of four years the world will count you old. How vital each four year span is, we well recognize. If we could carry into the future years the resolve we have when, looking back over our college days, we determine how differently we would do if we had it to live over again! But these years of "living over" lie ahead and they are ours to live. It is with unusual pleasure that I extend my greetings and heartiest wishes to the members of the class of 1940. Your Alma Mater sends you out with her blessing. FRED G. HOLLOWAY The President and Family
