An Editorial Knox spirit is three-fold. It is a spirit made up of reverence for the past, assurance of a greater Knox to be, and, above all, a whole- some pride in present achievement. To learn of the glorious work of the founders of Knox, of the sacrifices that brought it into being. of the lives spent in its enrichment, or to prophesy what the futures realiza- tion may beg should rightly frame, as it were, our appreciation of the efforts and attainments of to-day. To define the ideals of a college, is to attempt a well nigh impossible task, for these ideals are ever changing. They are, of necessity, a corn- posite of the lives making up its body of students and faculty. Yet as the years pass there will continue to How the constant current of thought- ful aspiration toward the highest level of manhood and womanhood, up- held by Knox from its founding. If we were asked to name the m-ost striking characteristic of our faculty and student relation, we would say, unhesitatingly, the personal element-that friendly feeling which, without lessening mutual respect, increases mutual sympathy. ' E Wliiether the student's bent be literature, philosophy, science, the classics, mathematics, art, or history, he needs as a basis an all round development of heart and mind. Education in the sense of mere book wisdom is by no means truly liberal. The individual must be consid- ered. The classroom should not be a mill, but a sculptor's studio. The students of Knox can truly say that in the work of its faculty is exem- plified the practical application of these co-operative principles. For they, the teachers of'tKnox, are men and Women of broad views, of kindly beliefs, interested in social questions, and in the difficulties religion presents to youth, and they Strive Consistently to apply the principles of study to- the problems of life. 22 ,
