,, are-.rf STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, MAYVILLE We have called our school the School of Personal Service , adopting this phrase as our slogan, and trusting that it is more than a slogan, being assured that it is more than an empty and pointless group of words. What we mean by this slogan is that here one may find more than excellent instruc- tion, more than scholarly and professional training. Here, in one word, one may find a quality of not usual cooperation, on the part of president, faculty, and student body. The faculty and the officers of administration are not well-nigh unapproachable officials, they are, on the contrary, friendly helpers and genuine co-workers. 1928 ' B H S 1928 Sixteen
