Daughter of Terpsichore in 2024? RB von Klein Smid, president of the University of Southern California in speaking of the girl of tomorrow makes this prediction: "She will be physically strong, vital and alert, loving the out-of-doors and rejoicing in its lure; active in sports, engaging by choice in those to which a bit of risk adds the spice of danger. She will be beautiful, enhancing the qualities of inheritance through habits of temperance. "Dancing will continue in its rush toward the exotic, and Terpsichore will be wild and full of animation. Mentally she will be no sluggard -- quick at wit and keen of judgment. Spiritually she will radiate love and good will. In trust of her fellow men and with faith in God, it will be easy for her to be kind and a joy for her to serve. Of creation she will be crowning glory -- a benediction on earth and a hymn of praise to heaven." --Fort Worth Record-Telegram, 14 May 1924
