F AITH in ourselves? Not outside of our faith in God and in our country but because of those faiths do we have faith in ourselves. Because of these faiths we may look to tomorrow and say it shall dawn a new day—a new day of lasting peace in the world, of spiritual peace in the hearts of men. We are de¬ termined to do our part to make it so. There is and will be work for all to do in a post-war state. There is reconstruction physically, materially, spiritually. Who shall come to the rescue of battle scarred nations, of a war-disordered nation, of a people awaiting a new motivating factor after the driving of war emphasis? Faith in ourselves then is the confidence we have in our ability to make our other faiths active. We do not mean by faith in ourselves that we are boastful, but that by looking at the accomplishments we have made by coopera¬ tion this year we gain confidence that we can duplicate or better our best in times to come. All activities are of necessity now limited or colored by war emphasis, and those which hold the undivided interest of their patrons are worthy of commendation. We may be well-pleased with the fact that at M. C. we have carried on in the characteristic manner as a Christian college, a repository of faith; as maintainers of faith, defenders of faith, and heralders of faith—a living faith in God, country, and ourselves. £ w La . f c Twenty-seven

INTER-SOCIETY Mediating committee for the two rival literary societies is the Inter¬ society council. In its meetings the representatives of both societies and faculty advisor, Dr. Bowman, make contest rules and administrate the combined efforts of the societies. Representatives of the societies include respective presidents and one elected member from each. The council sponsored a joint society program in February with tributes paid in various ways to men whose birthdays were in that month. COUNCIL Mediating organization for students and faculty is the Student Council. In semi-monthly meetings problems concerning items ranging from campus decorum to “stay off the grass” signs are discussed by the nine students and two social deans, Mrs. DeVol and C. W. Taylor. In a Wednesday morning chapel in March, the council presented a new fire alarm system to Teter Hall as a gift from the entire student body. Members of the council are the presidents of the respective classes, one representative elected from each, and the social deans. Twenty-eight
