These treasures, too intangible to define, are those things from which we have drawn inspiration to overcome many ob- stacles and difficulties. We cannot feel so deeply now what this book means to us, but in the days to follow, in hours of quietness, we shall find its pages a storehouse of beautiful memories. Let us count over some of the treasures so invaluable to us which this book brings to mind. Perhaps friendship is the most precious gold nugget we have dug from the mine. It has been said that friendship is the state of the just dealing with the just, the magnanimous with the magnanimous, the sincere with the sincere. Friendship is all important in the education of men. It will make a man honest; it will make him a hero; it will make him a saint. It is easy to say how we love friends and what we think of them, but words can never trace all the fibres that knit us to the old. Turning the pages of this book we realize as we look upon the faces of those friends of our college days that friendship does not spring up and become perfect at once but requires the nourishment of time and thought. Though we will travel different paths there will be locked away in a secret chamber of our heart those "little, nameless, unremembered acts of kind- ness and of love." The miner's drill goes deeper, until at last it uncovers a bit of gold whose brilliance and glitter dims our eyesight. It is knowledge. Like a jewel gleaming in the dark- ness it has lighted our paths through the years and has pierced the curtain of ignor- ance and superstition that shadowed our minds. What has it meant to us? It has set aflame deep in our ' <y ®A souls the spark that demands the best things life has to offer; it has set us reaching for objects that once seemed very far in the distance; it has given us courage—courage for the great t3 AJ sorrows of life, and patience for the small ones; it has ennobled our souls so that we are able to rise stronger from disaster and r%~ *r defeat. /&f// i Jt**y Desire for knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases with the acquisition of it. The mind of man is improved by learning and reflection. We place a happy life in tranquility of mind. We should not be contented with insignificance if we are able to hew our way to better things. From this abundant source comes another nugget of gleaming yellow. This is service to our fellowmen. A man's true wealth is the good that he does to his fellows. Everyone must realize when he enters an institution of learning that he must serve. This means not only physical service but also service with the heart and mind. There are many ways in which we have served. Some served gladly, others grumblingly. In college we learned to offer our service where it would be the most useful and to make an effort to do our best. The art of serving was brought out in our clubs and organizations. We learned to do our part, and we yielded ourselves to the making of a perfect whole whether on the football field or on the stage. 'All are needed by each one; Nothing is fair or good alone. And so we present to you the Milestone of 1934 hoping that it, in years to come, may bring back to you memories of the college where you made friends, received knowledge and learned to serve. " . this thread of gold, We would not have it tarnish; let us turn Oft and look back upon the wondrous web, And when it shineth, sometimes we shall know That memory is possession." S" Eastern's greatest contribution to Richmond is the oppor- Nf& tunity it affords our young people to obtain a high class edu- cation. Here, any boy or girl, regardless of wealth or lack of (M-((^i it, may obtain a good education at a minimum expense. No a'M Richmond boy or girl, with the slightest degree of ambition, mrii need lack a college education. \JLm "TTs':l\p- Eastern with its curricula of arts and science, adds to the cJSMl T V R. E cultural tone of our city. Association with the splendid corps of teachers in the school develops our cultural education and brings to the fore the better things in life and living. Learned, well written articles, prepared by Eastern faculty members and published in current periodicals, scholarly addresses made by Eastern faculty members in many parts of the county, all attract favorable attention to our city. Eastern brings to our city a high type of citizen. The fine T young men and women who attend our school and the men and Ft women of the faculty are a credit to our city. A D And in business, Eastern adds much to our community. 4M r:<--\ 1:1 E With a plant worth a million dollars, with a large corps of Mm teachers and instructors, and with a large student body con- j-jTT^lgjJ 'v^k-i-^j-j: stantly in residence in Richmond, many hundreds of thousands *A ^-^w^ of dollars pour into the coffers of our merchants and citizens. Richmond's stores are better than the stores in the average town our size because of Eastern. Our merchants appreciate greatly the cordial relations that exist between them and the faculty and student body of our school. Through its splendid athletic teams, Eastern brings favora- ble publicity to our city in each sport season. All in all, Eastern means much to Richmond. Our city is fortunate to be the seat of such a school. FRANK H.
