Soft, alluring music; the swishof silks, mingled with | the | lowvoices of happy young couples pervaded the atmosphere of the college dining-room as | th e I Junior -Senior Tea Dance drew to a closeon Saturday afternoon, 'May twentieth. J

Congratulations, Juniors! I t wassuch a lovely tea, and everyone enjoyed it, e spec ia l ly! the Juniors,fo r itf w a s their first.

GRADUATION GIFTIn rece nt year s, college classes throughout, th ecountry have devised various methods of making aclass gift to their Alma M ater at g radua tion. ^Promi

nent among these has been the life insur ance idea,whereby the class takes out an endowment policywith the college as beneficiary. There are well-defineddisadvantages in this method, as colleges have discovered.It seems to the Class of 1933 that no more suitablegift could be mad e by any class tha n the establishment of a scholarship. Such a donation is beneficentin|three distinct ways: First, the school gets immediate use of the money, which thus passes into thecategory of realization rather than aspiration. Second,it brings^ opp ortunity to some deserving stude ntwhose ambitioiijfor the finer things in life casts despairing glance upon a too oft accompanying finan^cial vacuum. Third, the size of the fund is readily adjusta ble to the finances of the class. To us it seemsthe second of these considerations! is the really important one; for if our college course has developedin us no sincere desire to help our less fortunate fellow-man, to lighten his burden,\to give for the love ofgiving, to submerge self in our service to others, i tprofits us li t t le to have attained baccalaureate honors.

The Class of 1933 asks the undergraduates to consider seriously the thought hereiset forth and to plantopeave to|their Alma Mater a gift whose power forgood cannot be overestimated a Scholarship fund.Kay Bar re t t , |'33: - o - : H | I ' 2 TF A R E W E L L !

Four years at college have produced a noticeablechange infall of us. As Freshmen ijwe considered ourselves quite grown up and rather intelligent humanbeings. As Seniors, we realize how litl le we knewthen, aiillhowanuch ther e is yet to learn. Most ofus were willing to I gel by with the least effortpossible. Now, we would like our wasted time back. ^We know now tha t every school activ ity missedwas one lost out of our lives; one page from our bookof memories missing. jLit tie f courtesies, -which we learned were expected of us as Freshm en and* college girls,and which we performed systematically and witha thought towards what might! happen if wedidn't heed them, became natural to us. Our outlook oflife is brfoader and more understanding. Our own particular troubles and annoyances are not so importantas they once were. \The i&eals and spirit of Merc yhurst have becomeour ideils and standards. We feel ourselves a livingpar t offthe school, and Mercyhurst, a part of us. Wecan ' t flel that we are really leaving Merchurst, because we are taking away with us these things whichhave grown into our lives, and which are indeliblyan d inextricably impressed with the Mercyhurstethos.

Into each life at sometime, comes a golden hour ofhappiness, a time when the world is ringing withrhyth m and all the : earth seems joyous. This hourcomes to all, and is lived and passes away and closebehind is i ts sweetest echo Memory.Of course, it' s a queer sensation t his leavingand starting anew; it makes us look forward eagerlyand step firmly and I cautiously. We are able tosmile now, as we look back upon the pas t from thehills of success, at the many stumbling blocks, whichseemed so like intruding ^monsters, until we^nearedthem and theyf proved only threateningfshadows.Now our hea rts are joyous and overflowing withgratitude and love . for those who have guided usalong the rocky way, for "The heaviest debt is that of gratitudeW h e n 'tis notiin ourfpower to pay i t ."And though we sense a certain pain of sadness, weare glad to respond to that call , that reaches us fromth e wprld without, ever bidding us to come and claimthe place awaiting us. It seems as if a great day isdawning with the sun hidden from view by a mistygray cloud, and we are awaiting to see where thelight mU burst through. jAlas, Ifes adieu, dear Mercy hurst, with a pray erand a wish for the best.

They gathered forthe purpose of founding a reallylasting lite rary ! organization.Sister Philippa called to-gether

all English majors, both alumnaeand under graduates to form whatshe called " T he Silver Q uillClub." She submitted|the Constitution of the organization to itfor approval.

SUCCESS OR FAILUREIn reading an article in theAmerican Scholar," January issue, by Owen D. Young of St. Lawrence ^University ent i t led "TheFive Final Questions at ^Commencem ent," it occurred to methatkperhaps (a brief resume of thecontents of his highly intellectualand scholarly article might not beamiss. He confronts a studen t bodyon the threshold of graduation andendeavors to make them realize,at least in some small measure,what is expected of a college graduate. Let us follow him for a moment.

He begins by telling us that having passed our college examinations in some of which we have hadbad luck, in others good, we mustface the examination of the world.Opportunity will permit you todisplay your qualities or you maybe called upo n with? confidence,and disappoint both those who call,you and yourself. The big difference be tween:college examinationsand life 's examinations is that theworld subjects you to a continuingExamination and the dates are notdetermined in advance. Most unexpectedly, when we are leastaware of it, it appears. At a critical moment in your career, youmay be unaware that the examination is going on, but it is. Youare sometimes given an opportunity to correct *bad examinationsand you take the risk of impairingthe good ones. The world is a discerning judge.Proceeding!further, Mr. Youngsuggests that we examine ourselves closely to discover our ownstrength or weakness. We can afford to fool others but not "our

selves about ourselv es." Afterhaving put to yourself the fivequestions which he offers, thereat business of developingyourself" rests with you. Trulythis is the commencement and notthe end of your educational career.Your success may be based uponthe results from this self-examination. Yoiii.must not *fail on anyitem. Let us study them for a moment.

\1 ) Do you realize your obligations and are you increasing yourcapacity to perform them?(2) Are your intuitions I developed, and are your emotions sensitive fj(3) Do you know your mental)aptitude?(4) Hav e you learned enoughabout the machinery of societyand its history to enable you to

apply your gifts effectively?( 5 ) | How adequate is your skill

it

tt

in communicAtion with;others?^Expanding these questions, ourauthor makes his question moresearching in their inquiry.;. One fails altogether if she failsin the fifth item. If your understanding, your sense of obligationOr wand your capacity to perform|re-main undeveloped, then "your intuitions, no matter how sensitive,your aptitudes no m atter howmarked, your knowledge of instil

tutions, no matter how thorough,your language, no matter how ade-quato, will not save you from failu r e . " With only the last you mayappear to succeed for a time, but,in the end, you will fail withoutth e f first.By intuition, he means the"area of conscious activity whichunderlies our ordinary mental machinery. "A college courseftendsto exalt the mere operations of theconscious mind, and so in a degree discourages the use of one'sintuition. Sensitiveness outside thefield of mental operation is a magnificent substratum, especiallywhen joined with character, onwhich to develop a clear mind.Have your emotions been deadenedby too mUch mathematics and science?Have you been engaged in theimportant part of research, thediscovery of what you really wantto do, what you are best fitted todo ? Do not let the fashions of thetimes, wealth, glamor of superficial sources, stand as temptationsfor you to try to do something forwhich you are not fitted. Discoveryour aptitude and make the sacrifices Snecessary! in the beginnin gto enable you to use it effectively.The fourth question strikes atyour fundamental knowledge."W ha t you do not know and whatyou ought to know must insistant-

ly stand out to plague you, impairyour confidence, threaten you withdefeat unti l you have overcomeit." Be prompt to recognize andremedy the area of your ignorance.Lastly arises the problem ofcommunication. Since man at bestcan only communicate five per centof what he sees, thin ks or feels bylanguage it behooves him to useit discriminatingly. Use adequate,clear expressions, and accuratewords. When the transmittedwork is clear and accurate, therest lies with the receiver and withthe style, which, if compellingenough, is a sure way to make thereceiver function well. "As a person enlarges his capacity to makehimself understood, he opens up tothat extend his opportunity forusefulness. ' '

Mr. Young concludes his articleby promising that if one faithfully examines oneself the world willultimately^ confer a 'satisfactorydegree.Do you agree or disagree withthis gentleman from St. LawrenceUniversity ? Alice Summers. '33.

HAPPINESS I ANSELM'S FERVOR

: - o - :ELLES DEPARTENTLeur classe fini,Leurs vacances repr is ,Qui vont-elles,Les petites jolies?Dehors dans la mondeQui est si profonde,piles prennent la routeQui est ioi fonde. *i Winifred O'Dell, '36

Happiness is a rare achievementin this modern world of ours andthe means of acquiring it simple,but Lew seem able to find i t ineven the smallest degree; even contentment is foreign to the majority of people. So many think thathappiness on earth is a dreamabout which only the fortunatefew know, that it cannot, in a^world filled with so many miseries,be possessed by the many. But whyshould we be miserable along withso many other misery about us,why not look for and grasp a bitof contentment and happiness?Doesn't God intend us to findwhat peace we can here on earth,or aren't'we entitled to happiness?

This is the discussed and written topic oftoday: Have we theright to be happy?Considering happiness itself, Wemav sav that it is a state when theappetites and desires of man havebeen fulfilled. This happiness maybe objective, that is, that objectwhose possession will render a rational being perfect ly happy, satis

fying all desires; or subjective,the perfection that results fromobjective happiness. Then there isimperfect or relative happinessthat is proper to man insofar ashe is fmortal, and to the humansoul, insofar as it is joined to, andrestricted by, the body. This relative happiness is the highest perfection of man in this mortal life.Absolute, perfect happiness is thathappiness which is {the final endof man and of the soul, but it cannot be attained in this life.Philosophers claim! that perfecthappiness is not had in this world,!but attained anly after the soulis separated from the body. Perfect happiness consists essentiallyin th at cognition of God, whichcompletely satisfies all desires, butwe know from experience that cognition of this kind cannot be attained in this life; that the knowledge of God which we have isanalogical and not sufficientlyperfect ;J to com pletely satisfy.Hence, is this life man cannot possess perfect happiness, it must beattained only after the soul isseparated from the body and therewould be a contradiction in natureif this were not so a desire without-the means of fulfilling it.Since perfect happiness can behad only after life imperfect orrelative happiness exists in this

life and is but a preparation forthe future happiness. As man is asocial being it is apparent that heneeds his fellow men to aid him.And now that it is an acceptedfact that one has the right to behappy why not be happy ? W hynot all of us str ive for it? Asyoung women forming habits andcharacter, let us always look atthe better and brighter side of anyissue or problem and find the silver lining. Don't be discontented,dissatisfied with every little thingfor in the end it is the little thing's

43in life that really inake it worthliving. So, hold and strive for happiness as one of your ideals andalways remember when you're bluethat: J! JThis world is not so bad a placeAs some would like to make it;But whether good or whether badDepends on how YOU take it.Elizabeth Lip part, ?'3 3.

(Anselm L033 1109iXtaUian by birth; became Archbishopof Canterbury. He was skilled inmedieval logic, and being highlyreligiously inclined, he wrote vol-uminou s discussions oftheological questions, prayerssermons, and letters. He k is theautlior of the ' ' Proslogium' 'for'A Discourse on the Being ofGod." It was in this &Discourse ' 'that the following characteristicsof th e man Anselm seemed to beexpressed or suggested.)

The religious fervor, the intensity of feeling, the longing formuch that is far beyond the desire Iof ordinary man, is very markedin Anselm. He seems so far aboveearthly desires and human wants.His life, his heart, his soul findsor hopes to find its only satisfactory shaven in God and His Al-mightiness. His being cries out tothe'Supreme Power. One mightimagine Anselm kneeling all byhimself in a room with his handslifted heavenward, and, with hiseyes wide open, as he fervently j| pray s and looks fo r tha t "peaceof God that passe th human understan din g," as he searches for| ultimate trut h that means somuch to him. Hum an love love for man, for woman,or for child seems to form nopart of his desire. He leaves sordid earth far behind, and4 soarsupward, \ seeking the infinite joyand love and wisdom infiniteEverythin g Good that he .believes to be found only in thekingdom of the one Creator. Religion to him is not a matter ofhuge cathed rals, sacred rituals,Land great display . Religion tohim is not a depressing, gloomy,fearful belief in something hazy.Religion is a vital'?, thing. It islife, love, health, understandingeverythin g, and the only thingthat'matters. Religion is a simplething, because it is identified withthe Great Simplicity that is God

JHa Simplicity tha t Anselm stillseeks to understand. Religionmeans to him absolute devotionthat*comes from an unshaken belief or faith in an Almighty Sorae-I one. Anselm's heart is full tooverflowing with happiness. Reli-gion is such a beautiful, gloriousthing. The very repetition. of th ew or ds " j oy " a nd ' ' l ov e " a nddesire;" the very way in whichAnselm reasons back and forthfrom cause to effect; the complete surrender of self to serveas a channel for God's-truth, onlytend to bring out the fervor andfiery enthusiasm that burn within the man Anselm.Jeanette Bonnell, '33
