Thousands of Miami men and women thruout the land attest to the sound principles of her teachings. The future is built on the rock foundation of past performance plus a quality of service that today is enriching the lives of preachers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, and business men who have had the good fortune to pass thru the halls of Old Miami. The new era Miami enters is made thru the more exacting demands of a more exacting public. Service from any institution or organization determines the life of that institution. Maimi, as one of forty colleges and universities in the state of Ohio, competes for the privilege of training the young men and women of the country just as surely as a business firm competes with its rivals. Miami is feared more than she fears. Her record in the past is clean. She is known far and wide. Her teachers are excellent. The equipment and facilities often form one of the greatest drawbacks for the growth of a college. Ivy clad halls have their granduer, but new times and new exactness call for more than halls and benches. To meet a demand for service every cog in the wheel must be true, every ideal pure. Students and faculty in a college must seek the same end, that is, to prepare for service to communities. Miami today represents an investment of the state of Ohio of millions of dollars. Hundreds of thousands of dollars each year are spent in maintainence. It costs the state of Ohio about 3250 every year for every student enrolled in Miami. People realize that a great return must come from this money expended, and that return is the deeds of Miami men and women after they leave Miami. There is now on foot a movement to raise a million dollars for Miami for several specific purposes. At first thought this million might not seem to bear any special significance. But doesn't it? This money is to come from the thousands of alumni and former students, from the present student body, the faculty and hundreds of loyal friends of Old Miami. In most cases each sum given represents a sacrifice on the part of the donor. Hence this million means a vital part of each Miami man and woman is coming back to the old college in the form of a free will offering to that dominant factor in college life here, Miami Spirit. This is the second time in the history of Miami that the alumni body has been called upon to contribute to a permanent cause. In 1909 the alumni gave for the building of the Alumni Library. They gave willingly, and each and every giver has a more vital interest in Old Miami for his or her gift. Thus it will be with the new movement. Leading back again to the dominant idea of service, the thought comes that Miami must now as never before seek to retain the enviable position she has attained among Ohio colleges. Many vital needs of the college can hardly be presented to the state legislature, especially at this time. And yet, these needs will surely have a most dominant effect on the life of Miami and the service she is to render to succeeding generations. This million dollars is to round out the train- ing at Miami just as a dash of sunlight enhances the beauty of a painting. Everything asked for of the friends of Miami and her own sons and daughters represents the fulfillment of a derinite need. The need of a university hospital will be questioned by no one. For many years, with a rapidly growing student body, this need has been very apparant. There is a demand that every care be taken of the health of the students. Even should there be no serious epidemic always a Dlllfflllfllilllllllg . M0 ' 'W VXITIFITIEQ X .. E, -.A-tif UlHIIIlMMlEM MUWMIIMW H i mln i . I . -1 ii. . - I I, if I ,irjjjj I
