Carl W. Holl Dt ' irii Liberal y rts College A college becomes known not by its catalogs, its buildings, or its endowments, but by the net worth of its graduates. The quality of its finished product de- termines its growth or decay. If we can send out young men and women who are trained to think steadily and clearly on the issues facing them, who have adequate information about the complicated civilization into which they are sent and who will undertake the tasks before them with a spirit of reverence, honesty and humility, the future of the institution is secure. The road to leader- ship is the same as it was two thousand years ago. He who would be the great- est among you let him be servant of all. Carl W. Holl, Dean Liberal Arts College I e¥!S¥5 The Spartans glorified physical excel- lence, establishing training institutions A for their sons, maintaining and fostering the same ideals for their daughters in their homes to the end that they might become mothers of sturdy and patriotic sons. The Athenians glorified intellectual excellence. They delighted in mental alertness and in the enjoyment of keen spiritual values. Their educational ideals made for living happily and beau- tifully. Democratic Manchester youth find their highest satisfactions in a blending of Spartan, Athenian, and Christian ideals, --a sound mind in a strong body in quest of the Christian way of life. J. G.

®tl|n Bltuij r IC. i. Jkntb rrg Manchester College is but the lengthened shadow of President ' inger, for it is he who has built it to the place where it can now stand alone. He is dignified so as to command respect, but Iriendly enough to be loved by all. Though he is a busy man, he greets us with a pleasant smile and is willing to make our problems his own. The most worth- while tribute we can pay to him is to simply say, We love him, and by our actions prove it! Beginning at a time when Manchester Colleg e was a myth, salaries a liability, and endowment a nightmare, L. D. F.ikenberry has through his financial wisdom made Manchester College a reality, salaries a pos- sibility, and endowment a certainty. Small of stature and retiring in nature he commands the respect of every student because of his financial ability and his work as an all-round handy man. Fie is the N ' ice-President the financial wizard, and the general over-seer of Manchester ' s campus. Page Srvcninn

The graph of man ' s progress towards better things is a sinuous but steadily rising curve. In this respect the history of the race is repeated in the individual. We attempt and succeed or fail and try again, and profiting by our oft-repeated experiments find ourselves moving onto higher levels. In college we spend four years making these experiments in com- pany with sympathetic friends and in the presence of the accumulated experience of the race. We may, then, laugh and sing and play and work with complete as- surance that if our best goes in good results must surely follow. Charlfs S. Morris Charles S. Morris Dtan of Mm y Al-! I A. DoRNl R Ihtiii of i ' omcu JAlucuHtn h.is been dchncd as the pro- cess b which each individual recreates his own universe and determines its dimensions. A process such as this involves the habit of wide reading, the power and habit of reflection, the power to grow, consideration for others, definite health habits, the acquisition of high ideals, and a strong Christian character. The work of the college is to give an opportunity for such development, and to aid the student in this process of edu- cation. The success of the college may be measured b the t ' pe of universe created by the men and women who leave its por- tals to meet the problems of life. Alice A. Dorner pjgc Ninccccn
