il 'ili 51,3 ni A YY Avi i Tribute to Our Faculty l P E came to college to learn better how to meet and solve the problems of life, and how to be of the greatest use in LLLEJ the world. In order-to accomplish this aim we have bought books and have used midnight oil in endeavoring to understand their meaning and imbibe their truths. This study has helped, but there has been a greater aid and one that perhaps We do not fully realize now: this is the iniiuence of our Faculty. This refining and ennobling iniiuence, this influence that inspires us to seek after the highest and best things in life and ever create for ourselves the purest ideals has come, sometimes, unconsciously and unbidden, but we realize it has come and will remain with us. Book knowledge may be forgotten, and many things pass away, but the highrfstand- ards for right living established for us through the lives of our Faculty shall never leave us.

ur President IESSIE C . LAIRD T is a pleasure to write a tribute to one who has so completely won the love and conhdence of every student .ll it and teacher in our college. President Jones brought to his position able scholarship, remarkable executive ability and kindly Christian courtesy. Because of his wide experience he has comprehended the needs of our institution. Faculty and students alike most thoroughly recognize his leadership, honor his judgment and appreciate his work. Always kind, always con- siderate, he shows genuine interest in each student and they realize that his ideal for them is their highest goody During his administration he has harmonized the entire work of the school and has also gained the esteem and confidence of the teachers of the state. A new athletic field of four acres has been granted by the state and the old one will in' the future be used for landscape gardening. The Conservatory building has been remodeled, making the rooms more convenient and better adapted to conservatory work. Our beautiful new Science building is 'nnished and was dedicated this spring, Prof. Dr. Coulter, of Chicago, giving the address. The course of study has been lengthened and hereafter the degree of A. B. in Education will be granted to those who complete two years of work in addition to the present life certificate course. George Eliot says, We could never have loved the world so well if we had had no childhood in it, and so we know that after we go out from our college halls and look back upon our childhood of life-our college days-the mem- ory of President Jones' kindly helpful friendship, his sincerity and Christian manliness will always be an inspiration to us to attain the highest in life, and we will all feel that We are better, wiser, stronger for having known him. , ll
