Goethe said, “There is no outward sign of true courtesy that does not rest on a deep moral foundation.” How much centers around this word “courtesy.” Is my disposition determined by external things, or can I overcome some of the small discomforts of life to make others happy? The greater a man is, the more able he is to overcome prejudice and position which clutter up our lives. One definition of a gentleman, is one who inflicts pain, makes light of favors while he does them and seems to be receiving while he is giving out. It is the strong who are gentle. The weak shout and strike and rattle to compensate for a sense of inadequacy. The gentle person knows he is in need of forgiveness and prayer. To those who are graduating from Marion College this year, as you meet the business world, be courteous. It is a mark of maturity. The rewards of life are not delivered every morning. There are jobs which have slow rewards, jobs that are life-long. Whittier said, “when we climb to heaven, ’tis on the rounds of love to men.” One of the greatest qualities of Jesus was his respect for other people. He, the most spiritual of all sons of men, said, “I stand at the door and knock.” He does not batter down the door, He does not violate anyone’s personality. He shows men that respect which draws them to him by the greatest kind of strength. John D. Williams, Treasurer JOHN D. WILLIAMS Treasurer [ Page 23

WILLIAM F. McCONN President Marion College through the providence of God is privileged to report a year in which every department has registered an increase. From a wide area, students gathered last fall for the school year, and the days have rapidly sped by, bringing a great variety of ex¬ periences. Nothing is more beautiful than friendship. This book is intended to portray such in permanent form, but how happy is the individual who carries away cherished remembrances of “The Old Triangle” and of life friendships there formed. We shall never again be associated together as has been our privilege this year. However, through the years we may turn the pag¬ es of memory and keep alive the associations which have been ours. Marion College is going forward. For three suc¬ cessive years we have registered increases in enroll¬ ment and inquiries are coming this year even from the Pacific coast. An all-wise Providence has directed us and is still leading on to greater days. May we re¬ member that He has a pattern for every life and for every institution which will permit Him to lead the way. Yours and His, Wm. F. McConn. Page 22 ]
