4 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.” Young Artist Plays at Morehouse The Junior Fine Arts Study Club pre sented Gertrude Martin in a violin recital at Morehouse College, W ednesday evening, April 5th, at eight o’clock.

Lee I | ATLANTA, GEORGIA I •I* i 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. Vesper Speaker Rev. E. R. Carter, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, used as his subject in the Vesper Services Sunday, April 9th, “AVhat think ye of Christ” based on the 25th Chap ter of Matthew.
