H e has t a k e n u p the w o r k that H a r d i n g l e f t unfinished, filling his
place to Ihe best of his ability.
No public man of national r e p u t a t i o n in our history has been
so little k n o w n as C a l v i n Coolidge and y e t so much ti'usted.
He was
made V i c e - P r e s i d e n t because of one public act, his maintenance of

C o o l i d g e has a n n o u n c e d
t h a t it w i l l be his purpose to c a r r y out the policies w h i c h Presi(k>nt
H a r d i n g has begun.
L e t us believe that he w i l l f o l l o w the coiuisel
he g a v e to l e g i s l a t i v e body w h e n made g o v e r n o r .
" I t is y o u r d u t y

T h e P r e s i d e n t , however, w a s unable to a c c e p t the invitation, and
Coolidge w a s u r g e d to t a k e his place.
" D o e s the P r e s i d e n t w a n t me

C o o l i d g e made it

t h a t it w a s the Pi-esident's wish.

W e can n o t e x p e c t Coolidge to succeed unless we h a v e f a i t h in

Dear Freshmen,
I am not w r i t i n g this as an a l u m n a of Milne but as a senior.
W e all w e l c o m e y o u to Milne and wish t h a t y o u m a y all be valedictorians.
D o not f e e l harsh t o w a r d s tlie other students.
Perhaps
t h e y do not t r e a t y o u as k i n d l y as t h e y should, but d o n ' t g i v e up.
W h e n y o u become sophomores y o u w i l l all be b e t t e r friends.
I t is
only because t h e y t h i n k t h a t t h e y are a little higher t h a n the F r e s h men.
W e w e r e all F r e s h m e n once.
W h e n doing y o u r w o r k think of w h a t is best f o r you.
m u s t go to dances, parties, etc., do y o u r w o r k first.
t h a t y o u cheat and no one else.
If y o u
I t is y o u r s e l f
T h i n k of P r e s i d e n t H a r d i n g .
He
a l w a y s did w h a t he t h o u g h t w a s best.
L a w s passed b y C o n g r e s s
w e r e v e t o e d because he t h o u g h t it best.
I n e v e r y t h i n g t h a t he did
w e can see t h a t he did mot a l w a y s do w h a t he w a s in f a v o r of but
w h a t he t h o u g h t w o u l d help others as w e l l as himself.
N o one is
a l w a y s in f a v o r of s t u d y i n g , b u t w e all must admit t h a t it is best
f o r ourselves and e v e r y o n e concerned.
W h e n it comes time f o r y o u to l e a v e dear old Milne, I am sure
t h a t y o u w i l l f e e l sorry.
T r y to do the best f o r y o u r s e l v e s and y o u r
school and, as a r e w a r d , come out victorious.
Sincerely,

ALUMNI
NOTES
Vassal- College, P o u g l i k e e p s i e , N. Y ,
October 3, 1923
Deal' Crimson and W h i t e ,
L a s t y e a r w h e n I w a s r u n n i n g y o u in all y o u r g l o r y and f r a n t i c a l l y c a n v a s s i n g f o r letters f r o m various alumni, 1 used to d r e a d the
time w h e n I w o u l d p r o b a b l y be called upon f o r j u s t such a letter,
for 1 thought:
" W h a t could I ever w r i t e t h a t w o u l d n ' t be j u s t like
all the other alumni letters w i t h whicli the Crimson and W h i t e has
been more or less f u l l e v e r y October that I can r e m e m b e r ?
I t ' s al-
w a y s the same old stuff w r i t t e n in the same old w a j ^ and I, f o r one,
t h i n k t h a t there h a v e been enougli such letters in the history of the
c o u n t r y w i t h o u t a n y addition b y m e . "
Ijiit now, altliough I h a v e n ' t been in college t w o w e e k s y e t , I
find that I c e r t a i n l y h a v e a lot to tell, even t h o u g h tiie s u b j e c t s m a y
be trite and not particulai'ly interesting to r e a d e r s o f — m a y 1 still
say " o u r " ? — C i ' i m s o n and White.
A n d I also discover that, instead
of being i-eluctant to wi'ite, 1 really w a n t to h a v e
communication
w i t h Milne H i g h again and once moi'e. to see m y name in the p a p e r
witii w h i c h I had so much to do last y e a r and in w h i c h 1 still have
a deep interest.
So hei'e goes.
A n d if I b'ore y o u too mucii remember tliat this is
just an a l u m n i letter a n d y o u m u s t n ' t expect too much f r o m it.
M y first d a y here is r a t h e r an indescribable j u m b l e in my mind.
I w a s met at the entrance to tiie cami)us b y a m e m b e r of the J u n i o r
K e c e p t i o n Committee, which t a k e s care of tlie F r e s l i m e n so that t h e y
d o n ' t get hopelessly m i x e d up, and I w a s t r o t t e d a r o u n d to be registered and w r i t t e n
d o w n and receipted and roomed and w a s l e f t
finally to get ac(iuainted with m y room mate, w h o made me f e e l at
home riglit a w a y because she is the only other girl from N e w Y o r k
S t a t e in m y house, wiiich has e i g h t y Ki'eshmen in it.
F o r the first f e w d a y s w e wei-e all busy g e t t i n g settled
and
m a k i n g iij) songs to sing to the other classes, wiiich came to sei'enade
us in turn.
T h e Satui'day b e f o r e classes b e g a n tlie Fi'eslimen w e r e lierded
t o g e t h e r in A s s e m b l y Hall and s u b j e c t e d f o r three houi's to an intellig e n c e test, wiiich c e r t a i n l y tried w l i a t little intelligence a n y of us
m a y have had.
F o r t h e y asked iis t h i n g s like tliis:
statements true or f a l s e ?

T h e first r e a l l y g r e a t event luippened last S a t u r d a y , wlien tlu^
reception f o r the F r e s h m e n took place.
Our J u n i o r a d v i s e r s took
us in tow, and each F r o s h had to w e a r lier name pinned to lier (I
suppose so t h a t people could tell us f r o m the Seniors).
W e passed
d o w n a r e c e i v i n g line not much more than a mile long, consisting of
tlie f a c u l t y
and
tlie presidents

A f t e r w e had all been introduced and Imd shaken t w e n t y - f i v e f a c u l t y

of hectic hours I spent last y e a r over a certain q u e s t i o n : " R e s o l v e d :
T h a t there should be a N a t i o n a l D e p a r t m e n t of E d u c a t i o n w i t h a
S e c r e t a r y in the P r e s i d e n t ' s C a b i n e t . " )
I t w a s quite a n o v e l t y to
liear someone else debate, w i t h o u t h a v i n g to listen conscientiously
f o r points w h i c h m i g h t be disproved b y one's r e b u t t a l speech.
The
O x f o r d men w e r e v e r y technical a n d v e r y business-like and v e r y
sure of themselves, b u t the V a s s a r girls w e r e j u s t as much so.
The
decision w a s made b y the vote of the audience, w h i c h w a s 466 in
f a v o r of O x f o r d and 455 f o r V a s s a r .
So no one can say t h a t V a s s a r
f a c u l t y and girls are not fair-minded.
I wish I could m a k e y o u u n d e r s t a n d the w o n d e r f u l spirit t h e r e
is here.
W l i e n I first came, a f t e r Milne H i g h , w h i c h f r o m m y pres-
ent point of v i e w seems to consist of a v e r y small f a m i l y , to be j u s t
one of 1150 girls, I f e l t r a t h e r alone and v e r y , v e r y i n s i g n i f i c a n t ; b u t
e v e r y o n e — f a c u l t y , upperclassmen, and f e l l o w - F r o s h , seems to t a k e
such a k e e n interest in one's i n d i v i d u a l i t y and personal a f f a i r s t h a t
one soon feels at home.
T h e F r e s h m e n are not made to feel, as t h e y
are in so m a n y places, t h a t t h e y are v e r y r a n k , green objects, m e r e l y
to be tolerated until t h e y h a v e o u t g r o w n their F r o s h d o m , b u t t h e y
are t a k e n into the college l i f e in a v e r y f r i e n d l y manner.
T h e y are
w e l c o m e d and shown that there is a place f o r them in all sorts of
activities and u n d e r t a k i n g s .
This is the r i g h t w a y , it seems to me,
to develop school spirit.
Y e t , as much as I like this place and as much as I hope to g a i n
f]'om it, I c a n ' t say that I d o n ' t miss old Milne a n d m y f o u r y e a r s
of l i f e there.
A l l y o u peoi)le w h o belong there now, a p p r e c i a t e it
w h i l e y o u m a y ; and t r y to do as much as y o u can f o r Milne, so t h a t

memories, as does y o u r f o r m e r school-mate,

THE CRlMSOiN AND WHITE
Dear Editor,
W e l l here 1 am, a f r e s h m a n in S t a t e College.
F a t e seems to
h a v e decided that the lot of a college f r e s h m a n be a h a r d one.
Al-
t h o u g h our lot is r a t h e r liard, we are somewhat consoled b y the f a c t
that the sophomore class is v e r y l a r g e this y e a r , and they w e r e f r e s h men last year.
W h e n one steps f r o m a high school senior to a college f r e s h m a n ,
his high ideas and opinions of himself are suddenly quelled.
The
seniors are too busy to notice h i m ; the juniors t a k e compassion on
iiim and t r y to be real friends, but the sophomore feels it his chief
d u t y to remind him continually of his inferiority.
Some people,
especially the sophomoi-es, seem to think t h a t freshmen are p l a c e d
in colleges m e r e l y f o r a source of amusement. W h e n t h e y go t h r o u g h
the spacious college halls searching w i l d l y f o r some unknowai room,
g r o u p s of sophomores s t a n d i n g about, m a y be heard comj)limenting
themselves on being able to i-ecognize a freshman.
It seems as if w e w e r e s t a r t i n g at tiie v e r y b e g i n n i n g a g a i n , but
cannot education be compared to an extension ladder? L a s t y e a r
w e did not reach the top of our ladder, but only the top of our lii-st
extension, our main ladder being our elementary education.
Now,
a l t h o u g h w e seem to be s t a r t i n g at the beginning we are in r e a l i t y
climbing our second extension.
College l i f e is a gi-eatdife and a life which a n y boy or g i r l w i l l
look b a c k upon w i t h pleasure.
W h e n boys and girls ai'e g r a d u a t e d
fi'om high schools, m a n y i)aths ai-e opened befoi'e them, and the boy
or girl w h o does not follo^v the path of higher education, w h e n it is
opened to him, w i l l surely regret it.
1 t h o u g h t that S t a t e College Avas g o i n g to seem too much l i k e
high school, a f t e r h a v i n g attended Milne, but I find college l i f e v e r y
dit^ei-ent in m a n y w^ays.
The only w o r d s that 1 can find w h i c h
e x a c t l y expi-ess my impression of college are the Avords f r o m a college song, " I t ' s a g]'eat big puddle, and I'm 'just a little f i - o g . "
The
first d a y Milne H i g h opened I almost wished I w e r e b a c k wdien I
saw^ P r o f e s s o r S a y l e s and the rest of the Milne H i g h f a c u l t y ascending the stairs.
R e a l l y , Milnites, y o u don't ai)preciate y o u r f a c u l t y
until y o u leave them.
In s])ite of the f a c t that f a t e has decreed our lot to be hard, w e
have m a n y real good times.
Most of us have attended a f a c u l t y re-
cei)tion, a J u n i o r - F r e s h m e n sing, and a Y . W . C. A . reception.
On
Octobei' 5 all of us had to attend the fi'eshmen " G e t W i s e " pai'ty.

Although
tlie team is composed of some of the lightest men ever seen at Milne,
still w i t h a little practice the t e a m 'ought to d e v e l o p into a w i n n i n g

T h e b o y s w h o are e x p e c t e d to show promise and be-
come stars of the court are, G o l d i n g , a p r o m i s i n g c e n t e r ; W i l l i a m s
