September 19, i9^3 MAROON AND GOLD Page Three 1IHE E©AD TO YESTEMBAY | after graduation-what? By E. H. Rainey To my friends The Seniors, Greetings: I dare approach you in this manner only as I realize that the cat may look at the king and that the Jester is per mitted to say things to His Majesty that normal man is never allowed to mention. So under the shield of hu mility I come to offer my congra-tula- tions and sympathy. Congratulatioiis because you own the earth as you begin the senior year; sympathy because you will feel as insignificant on the day of your graduation as you feel important uow when the freshman points to you and says with hushed voice, “That’s a senior." The world will be expecting so many things of you because you have finished college, and you will be utterly unprepared to enter most of the trades or professions of life. Yours has been a glorious privilege to study where you get the persona', touch, and to imbibe the loving family spirit of Elon. Yet your education has been genernl, with little preparation for the life of the expert in any line. A college diploma means no more today than (lid graduation from high school twenty years ago. As our civilization becomes increasingly more and more complex, we will need to broaden our training continually to meet the de mands which each day come in some Ti.-w form of activity. It is only the expert that rises to the heights in any profession in our day. The physician who succeeds must know enough to cure a disease or heal an affliction after the patient has reached the crucial stage. The teacher who is respected must have roine knowledge in addition to what others say about his subject. The busi ness man who forges ahead is the one who is so trained that he can success fully meet any emergency that circum stance or a competitor may cause. The real statesman is the one who has stud ied extensively enough to know the philosophy of history, for thereby he gets a connection between human ac tivity past and present. And if one is considerhip; entering the Gospel minis- trv he inr.st 1 ave a broader training than any other person in the commun ity in which he is to serve. The man who is to lead people in the spiritual life must be able to deal with questions of philosophy, science, business and statesmanship, and handle ^these ques tions in a way that will reflect credit on his calling. ]VIy advice to a senior class in a small college is to take as a motto, •* Finished to begin.” You have had the advan tage of personal attention in your aca demic work, now branch out into broad er fields of scholarship at some nation ally known institution. Of course one who has attended a great university like Y’ale will always advise others to go there, but if you don’t choose Y^ale fo;' further training be sure to decide on '’ome national institution. A small college for under-graduate work nnd the bi,:; university for graduate work is the very finest combination for life’s train- ii),^. Elon students are especially well quaJjfied for graduate work in universi ties. This has been proven over and over by their records in advanced train ing. Klon students have a gi’ounding in the Christian principles of life, whe ther they are a\'Osved Christians or not, and this nlone will be a wonderful help in the direction of a larger service after higlier learning is gained. No American citizen is ever complete ly satisfied with less than the very best that it is possible for him or her to attain. Why, then, will college stu dents, who are the pick of our land, ever stop until they have reached the best training that our country affords? Seniors, let it not be said of you, “They ran well for a time”; but cause it to be said of you, “These finished the race in good style.” Plan now to take fur ther training after you have finished college. Forward together! Let nothing deter you on the road up. Adopt a parody on the soldier’s song, “A Ph. D. or bust.” Box 394, Franklin, Ohio. The W illing W orker s Entertain With Play LARGE AUDIENCE WELL PLEASED | ‘Mother Goose and Her Missionary Children” is Subject of Play Presented. “Mother Goose and Her Missionary Family” served as entertainers to a large audience at the graded school building last Sunday evening. The pro gram was given by the Willing Work ers Missionary society, which is com posed of children from six to 12 years old, and which is an auxiliary of the Woman’s Missionary Society of Elon College. Dr. N, G. Newman presided over th,' exercises, which were held after M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., taking the place of Christian Endeavor. Prior to the entrance of Mother Goose and her fam ily, however, a number of miscellane ous songs—one by the society and the rest by the entire audience—and reci tations, were given. All the children did well and furnished a very enjoy able program. They were assisted by Miss Alberta Atkinson, of the Junior Missionary society, and also by Miss Bella Cotten. After all Mother Goose’s children had told of their plans for “helping mission w'ork along in lands afar,” a silver offering of over $20 was taken to aid them in their cause.
