Others have taken the degree here, it is true, but they were either post-graduates of other colleges or had completed a part of their work at least before entering K. S. N. C. After all, the big, pertinent questions are: What does a degree from Kent Normal mean? What is it worth? Is it a means or an end? The granting of the degree means that a certain standard of scholarship and professional training has been reached. It is not a mark of dis- tinction or honor as it is often supposed, but it is merely a mile-post on the highway of increased eiliciency. It is the progress of growth culminating with the appellation l i of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science that counts in the real test of life. The faculty, alumni, and under graduates hope and trust that the members of the 1918 degree class, collect- ively and individually, will retlect honor and credit on the school whose friendly walls have sheltered them for the past four years, and whose foundations of knowledge and experience have poured forth abundantly for their growth toward a greater and better etliciency. As the degree class of 1918 goes out, it takes with it a full share of memories, friendships, and associations that cannot help but function in the training of the future citizens of the state as well as remain dear to the heart of each member of the class.

Her discussions of the ways and means used in training the minds of the young will ever be remembered by her fortunate classmates. The history of Education was a series of triumphs, while Moulton Hall was made a place of study by her. In history Miss Cruttenden and Mr. Layton both thank heaven for sending them such a genius with a mind bent on absorbing the wealth of the ages. Here's to your success, Rose, ever onward and upward. From the looks of a certain diamond we may venture to quote: Rose now, Rose forever, Link now, but not forever. JAMES W. TIDD, Williamsfield, Ohio It has been a great pleasure to have James with us these last four years. He is one of those congenial fellows who always tries to have the other person enjoy him- self. James has made his mark at K. S. N. C. Brilliant in conversation, studious in the classroom, and agile in athletics are only some of his high points. His most fre- quent words are Raise you five. llllllllnlnlln
