Student Tribute To us, the students ot this college, Dr, Townsend was more than an outstanding ad' ministrator, more than an emi- nent educator, more than one who spreads the doctrine ot personnel, To us, the students, he was a man, one who regarded oth- ers as individuals, seeking to know each tor his own worth. He was a leader who en- couraged leadership in others. He was a scholar, a student himself, sincerely believing that Who dares to teach must never cease to learn, I re- member his saying to us that he never entered this college without looking up and repeat- ing, Who dares to teach must never cease to learn. He was always proud ot his students-as he called us, his family, Many times from this rostrum we upperclassmen have heard him enumerate the out- standing achievements ot the group or ot individuals in the group. He was very proud ot us and we were proud in turn to thinla that we had measured up to his standards. He believed in the demo- cratic way ot lite, He was an active participant in numerous fields ot endeavor and by his very presence made others emulate his example. His was a lite ot unlimited service 3 a devotion to the cause ot education. We, the students, could pay Dr, Townsend no greater tribe ute than to dedicate ourselves to carrying out the ideals he has set tor us. IAMES R lVlcDERlVlOTT.

I wish l could tell you as students how to come to edu- cation through learning, but the way is not easy, There needs to be an inner responsiveness, not at all inborn, but acquired. and you must tind it in your- selves to seek the thing l speak ot. Never has the world had greater need of men and wom- en who are not only learned but educated. All ot us are guilty ot keep- ing our ideals too much as un- approachable goals, tor which we do not even try to strivel We say, l am powerless! I have so little influencelu And while we say it, we comfort- ably throw our responsibility upon the vague shoulders ot the others. You are pioneers of a new faith-a faith ever reborn-in the ability of mankind through trained, intelligent consecrated service, to remake the face ot the earth, until prophet dreams come true. America and the world need you-need you des- perately - to place highest those values, which are highest, the values ot the soul. The beginning and end of life are not in our hands. The significance of that beginning and that end, however, rests with the person who lives. llXl MEM

The teachers colleges are now awakening to the implica tions ot education for democracy. . . Faculties are taking a greater part in determining curriculums, policies, bud- gets, terms of employment and dismissal, and the like . . . The future greatness of the American teachers college depends upon the extent to which the faculties are inspired by democratic organization and responsi- bility to give their full energy and unhampered intel- ligence to the grave problems involved in preparing teachers capable of meeting the new day in educa- tion.
