Annual Message A PRESIDENT HARRY M. GAGE To .412 Students and Prospective Students of Coe College: This is my third annual address to you through the pages of the ACORN. First came a greeting. Then a word of hope and expectancy. Now the proclamation of a new day. The day just preceding the one into which we are going has been marked by a very rapid increase in the number of students. During the last ten years, attendance has increased nearly three hundred per cent. Coe has been growing more rapidly than any college in the Middle West. This year opened with S26 students matriculated and registered in regular college classes. Second semester registrations will make the enrollment for this academic year approximately 900. To this must be added enroll- ment in other departments amounting to about 400 and-making a- total enrollment for the calendar year of 1300. u Increase in numbers heralds the new day and determines for us the character of the day's Work. First, attention must be given to selection of students. Since students as well as the college are active in this business of selection, it may be Well to state that our desire is to assist students in the choice of a college. This is important, for the success of a college course depends in the first instance on the wisdom used in choosing a college. The issues of life as a whole and of college life in particular depend upon our engagements-our selection of friends and sweethearts, social and business con- nections. Coe has unique character. I It has typical ideals and distinctive purposes. It has a spirit which can only be described by saying that it is the Coe Spirit. There are several colleges in Iowa, and many in the United States. There is, obviously enough, and in full appreciation of others, only one Coe College. So We want every student who comes to our campus to feel that Coe is the one college he wants, the college destined from all eternity to be his. Coe does I1Ot wish to erect barriers which will make it unnecessarily difficult for students to enter. It rather wishes to come into personal contact with prospective students and to invite into its family those who give Page 18
