Excerpt from The Smith College Monthly, Vol. 25: October, 1917 For the future, we feel secure. We shall doubtless have our times Of academic fog, or east wind, or even electrical disturb ance, we may perhaps have dull belts Of the humidity incident to our Valley geography; but we are sure, the year around, Of our share Of God's own golden weather, to be enjoyed and used under a leader whom we admired before we knew him, and whom now we love, and under whom we are going to live and study with all our minds and hearts.

Excerpt from The Smith College Monthly, Vol. 13: October, 1905 June, 1906 Emerson has named self-trust as the most priceless attain ment of the student, and the education that leads to it he finds in nature, in books, and in action; but be conceived that the soul grows in stature principally by action, and that a man is made noble only by men. No one can be truly good alone; it is only in a group that we realize ourselves, and our community life here is Of greater service in this sort Of character building than we sometimes realize. This self-trust and self-responsibility are the keynotes struck as soon as a student enters Northampton. Single-handed, she must breast the torrent of drivers and expressmen, and the emissaries Of the S. C. A. C. W. Single-handed, she must plan her work amid the conflicting demands of Official and unofficial advisers. Position and circumstance may prepare the Way be fore her, but after all, it is really her individual use of them that counts. She has to stand or fall alone. The easiest path to the goal, she may not take; she may wande r in circuitous and vexatious ways at first, but the vital thing is that she has under taken the journey and is directing her steps herself. This then, this sense of responsibility, is to my mind the most educative feature Of college life. It is twofold in character it develops both the individual and the social side. It teaches us to stand on our own feet and to make sure at the same time that we are not unduly crowding our neighbors. The difference be tween these is not always appreciated. A responsible self Will reach chapel on time, but it will not do so by cutting across a corner Of the grass. A responsible self will be duly prepared for examinations, but a responsible social self will not do SO by Withdrawing from the library Shelves the only book available for her classmates. It is really a very large thing, this being a responsible social self. It includes the private self, as the Whole includes the parts. It is made of insight and sympathy, that wisest combi nation Of the head and heart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Smith College Monthly, Vol. 6: October, 1898-June, 1899 If the spectacle Of a nation at war pursuing steadily at the same time its ordinary peaceful business be an interesting and instructive one, with how much more interest do we consider such a nation following out in the midst Of war its ceremonies and festivities! Nor is this attitude of interest in the least derogatory, it would seem, to the highest concern for the country's welfare, to the keenest enthusiasm for her best good. Though apparently oblivious for the moment of the national Situation, no well-informed person would call such an assembly as this unpatriotic and it is this instinctive appreciation Of the nature and character Of patriotism that I propose to analyze.
