7 IVLOTL .4 CRE!! EMORY STANDS 1foR SOMIQTHING. A University ought to stand for some- thing besides learning. Emory has a policy and it has a purpose. It has a mission and it intends to be true to itself and to its mission. lt stands for the plain and simple things of human life. It stands for the plain and simple things of human character. It stands for the plain and simple things of the Christian religion. It stands for life and that more abundantly, for truth and that freely: for scholarship and that deeply, for work and that hard: for play and that gladly: for faith and that simply: for the best in life, and it believes the best is yet to be. ll It be- lieves in preparation for life and that thoroughly. lt believes in thrift and property, and that it is as necessary for the University to live within its income as it is for the individual or the state, and equally a matter of common honesty as well as good business. lt believes in the things of the body, in health, exercise and recreation. It believes in athletics for all rather than the prowess of the few and the applause of the extra- mural multitudes. It believes in the things of the spirit, in mercy, justice and humility, and in the tendency toward the eternal. It believes in the whole man strong and manly. It is laboring for such a man as its chief aim. ll lts vision is neither inward nor downward nor backward, but Llp- ward, outward and forward. It believes that the fundamentals are al- ways the same, but it knows that the old order continually changetlf: yielding place to new, and that it must ever adapt itself to its day and generation. It believes that nature and life are not nearly so schematic as we are, and that we are very far from the end of every problem. It believes that life is a gift of nature and that beautiful living is a gift of wisdom. ll It believes in its own youth, and in the ilaming, plastic, yearning youth who come within its gates. It believes in the truth of science, in the glory of the Republic, and in the God of the Fathers. -STEXVART R.
