Regardless of the outcome of final exams, we hope that the score made on these exams will reflect the true ability , of the individual who is being "examined’’. Without climbing upon a soap box of rself righteousness, we hope that there will i be more time spent upon acquiring the facts about a subject rather than in find- ing whew the exam papers are stored.

We livZ in a world-of gigantic physical and technical achievement. Enormous as this progress has been, the human ele ment is still the most important. Bricks and mortar, buildings and machines mean only as much afe honest, industrious, imag inative men and women make them mean. * After all is said and done, here’s wish ing success to everyone in tomorrow’s fi nals and it is our further wish that the 'coming semester will be pleasant and prof itable fob you and for the college.

My mother is one of these. I “I think young people today have a muc{« harder time of it than we did when I was a girl,” she told me. This surprised me, as it is more customary for her con- tempories to complain that this a a lazy, pleasure-seeking genera tion. I asked her why she thought as she did. And her answer sur prised me even more. “Well, we didn’t have all the labor-saving things around the home that yoiing wives do now,” she said. “But I think we had more real security. People in those days didn’t seein to have so much trouble finding a place to live, and I don’t think they had to worry so much about what would happen next.” And she added placidly: “I really feel sorry, for the young people today, and } wouldn’t "VAX* 1 COURTESY!
