Ellyn Iliarnltg xr: x ZN GLANCING back over our two-year course at E the Michigan State Normal College, we ask f N ourselves the questions, What have we V learned? How have we grown?,' What are We Etted to do? 2 ogg That we have gleaned certain facts and truths from text-books and from lectures, we know, but what they are we cannot say, we feel that we have grown, socially, intellectually, and spiritually, but by what processes, and under just what circumstances, we have never until now paused to consider. Has our outlook upon the world been broadened, have our sympathies been deepened by the amount of actual knowledge acquired? To a small extent only. The greater part of our growth and development must be attributed to our daily associations, to the silent influence of those with whom we came in contact. It is said that culture comes from a wide association with men and books. If this be true, the degree of culture must, of course, depend upon the kind of men and the quality of books. We have been associated in a way with all our fellow students, but the greatest influence has been exerted over us by those under whose instruction we have worked, who have directed our reading and helped to mold our opinions,--the members of our College faculty. From our loved and respected President to the humblest assistant instructor, they are men and women of keen intellect and broad sympathies. They have stimulated us to the for- mation of high ideals of life and usefulness, and have encouraged us in our efforts to realize those ideals. We have enjoyed privileges of personal contact and fellowship with our instructors not found in other similar institutions, and we know that we shall appreciate the resulting beneits more and more fully as the years pass. We desire to express our appreciation, but what shall we say? Can words repay the debt of gratitude we owe to our faculty? Assuredly, no. They have devoted them- selves to the training, instruction, and inspiration of each student, in order that he might, in his turn, train, instruct, and inspire those under his care. Let us prove ourselves worthy of their efforts by our devotion to our profession, by our zeal in the cause of education, and our loyalty to our Alma Mater. L. MARGUERITE LUX, '06.
