The attention of the women was called to their responsibility on the campus, by Mrs. Eddy. "You upperclassmen owe something to the freshmen. Often they do not know the proper thing and look to you to ask for advice. But these influences that will make them better." Be sure that you hand the ideals to them as high or higher than you received them."
