A Christmas Wish from 1914
From the December 16, 1914, edition of The Collegian:
That you may find smile-lit faces and loving hearts awaiting you.
That you may take long walks with home friends down old paths in harmony of spirit, and that the fire-glow at night may be out-shone by the faces of the mystic circle.
That there may be new books to read in quietude and peace, old loved books to be caressed by your hands, and re-read in the light of the “living-room lamp,” as in the yesterdays.
That there may be gifts, not precious in that they cost much, but that they are given in love.
That you may be rested in the beautiful home life where rest is most soothing and strengthening.
That the turkey be fat, and the dressing be well seasoned.
These are the Christmas wishes of THE COLLEGIAN.
