The Gavelyte, October 1914

TI IE (',A VELYTF working force o[ the rollege, as finanC'ial agrnt. and in thP shol't l.i11w of hi $ ervic has done spl ndicl work, not only in adding Lo Lhe Pn– dowment fund•s so <bad'Jy need d to carry on the work of the instltn– tion, but in sectUing the int ·rnst and sympathy of many who will lJf' of great assistance in the future, and in standing as a constant fo•rc'3 for a forwa.rld movement. The attendance of students this y ar is jm:t a little better than last year. •One of the ncouraging features, however, is that there are so many new students. Another is that s,o many young men from ~ distance have sought the opportunities of an education here. There oan be no dou·bt that, s,plendid a s have b en the student bodies of past years, the present body of students is excelled by none. Eve r yone is a Christian. T·beir conduct is exemplary. There is an air of stuldlious– ness about the college and such evidences in the c]a r s rooms of good, hard study as have seldom been equaled. This augurs well for the success o.f the year's work, and every effort ough t to be made to main– tain the high standard already s-et. At the same time there is no lack of college spirit and plans are actively being pushEl::li for the support of athleUcs, oratory, the literary societies, the Christi-an associations, the college paper, and! all good movements. On the whole. the outlook for 'Ced·arville •Co1lege is better than it hais ever been, and all that ii:, neEded to put the college where it ought to be is the earne,s t, pe1 sistent efforts oE trustees, h i ulty, students, alumni and friends to do everything that can 'be done for the good of the institution. Piercing the Unknown. " Ye Have Not Pa ssed This Wa y Heretofore."- J os h ua Ill. 4 . The highest achievement of art is to suggest rather than to portray. What more appealing picture than a country roakh, winding "' through a,n autumn woodland, o-r strEtching up the slopes of some. green ridge? vVbat lies around the •bend, .or over the brow of the hill? Who can tell? The canvas of the artist gives us no information. But• therein lies its suggestive powfT-the cpportunity of the imagina.tion. Somewhat of this fascfoation of the unknown be1ongs to the openin,g of every college term. Who knoweth what a year may bring forth? To tho,se who have la.bOTed long in the college, th0re wme– times seems to ·be a sameness a·bout each session that tends to blur the yeaT 1 s and fuse them togeth er into one. The catalouge artif't in the college calendar ha.s dimly sketched the year, and it loDks very much like previous attempts by the same painter. But, Oh, how bold the . outllnes and how much t 1 here is to be filled in-first by the imagination
