The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in His hands. Who saith, 'A whole I planned, ' Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!'

D.D., LL.D.. Principal Selected for The Dial by Dr. James Chalmers. From his favorite author, William Shakespeare; Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3. Affectionately dedicated to the Class of 1927. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each neiv-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, Bear't, that the opposed may beivare of thee. Give every man thine ear, but feiv thy voice: Take each man ' s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy: For the apparel oft proclaims the man. Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Honorary Member of the Class of 1927 To the Class of 1927 Look to This Day, For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Realities of your Existence; The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty. For Yesterday is only a Dream, And Tomorrow is only a Vision: But Today well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, Every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day. —From the Sanskrit. EDITH A. SAVAGE, Dean Did you ever think that, had we the chatacteristics which out best friends think we have, our lives would be gradually forming into a thing of beauty, a mosaic, where each little part, bright and shining, would take its place in a perfect design? But we know ourselves too well to believe this. We know that the tiny pieces which should make a glorious whole, are not only rough and unpolished, but as yet have little system of order. However, could we not take these crude pieces, shape them, smooth them, and one by one place them in their rightful spaces, until at the last we made a design, not perfect, but having the semblance of beauty, a pattern that will last forever.
