The Campus Mirror
Food For Thought
VkijMa Collier, ’33
(>n tin 1 south sid(> of Sisters C'liapol, (‘lost*
to the tall hedges shutting off the street from
the campus, lives a family of dainty, modest,
hlue-eved ladies. They are rather tall con
sidering 1 their genus, but one does not realize
their real height until one of them is taken
from her green bower. It was last Sunday
morning that I discovered this shy group
shedding its beauty unnoticed. These white
violets with blue-gray eyes, nestling among
the thick foliage of their darker and lighter
green leaves said to me:
“There is some happiness in life and much
beauty. In this gloriously beautiful world of
ours we seldom find happiness entirely
apart from sadness. Life just is not that
way. The sweet is mixed with the bitter, the
sun shines while it rains, plants spring forth
only to wither and finally die, people are
born and live and then—they die.”
“Yes,’’ said a little purple violet whose
cup was not quite open, “life is just that
way. The dark, cold, grey days teach us how
to appreciate the bright warm, clear ones.
You must experience both sides of life in
order to appreciate and understand each
side. All sunshine finally means no sun
shine.”
“You are right, I believe,” I whispered.
“Of course we are. AYe know from experi
ence. All winter we were under the cold,
dark ground. AYhen the freeze came it
seemed that we would never enjoy the glori
ously warm rays of the sun again—”
“And we thought,” broke in the tender
little leaves, “that our faces would never be
kissed by the dew and the breezes. But the
snow came and covered us with a thick,
warm, white blanket—and here we are!”
They all bowed graciously as I said,
“Thank you. You have given me food for
thought.”
Well, life is just as that little blue-eyed
damsel told me, she who kept the side of
her lovely face toward me as she shyly
peeped through the opening in the hedge—
“Life is an infinite series of pangs flavored
with what folk call happiness and sorrow,
sunshine and rain, gray skies and blue skies.”
Founder's Dag Address
(Continued from Page 1)
was the keynote of the speaker’s thought
with regard to education.
In warning those present to uphold right
and truth, he went over the topic of tem
perance which faces the world today, de
manding more than ever before the sober
thought and judgment of those who must
lead.
Jesus Christ must be our supreme ex
ample, Mr. Richardson concluded. If we
thus plan our lives, believing that there is
surely some good in what we do, the answer
will come to us from our conscience just as
when it was asked “Watchman, what of the
night?” and the answer came “God’s great
tomorrow is dawning, and it shall never
grow dark.”

Success of a Woman’s College
((’ontinued from Page 11)
terviewer of some members of the senior
class recently, said that the placement of
graduates of Spelman gives him a sense
of satisfaction, because he knows from
experience that lie is recommending de
pendable persons with adjustable person
alities enabling them to lit into even un
usual situations—a significant goal to be
maintained.
Because of the record of our college these
fifty-two years and because of such ad
vantages as the new library and the receiv
ing of class A rating, which is a recent
achievement, we have reason to hope and to
expect that the Spelman of each year here
after will become more and more the Spel
man of our dreams.
