RAVELINGS NINETEEN ELEVEN MONMOUTH COLLEGE An institution beloved by every student, a Mecca for every alumnus, is Monmouth College. They speak of Old Monmouth with awe and reverence. With pride and hope they mention The Greater Monmouth. The students and alumni, the past and present of Monmouth College are inseparably bound together. A strong spirit of loyalty and advancement has always had a place here. It had its birth when the school was first founded. Instilled into the first students, it has been handed down from class to class, even to this day. But as the students have received their diplomas and gone forth from Monmouth ' s walls, they have not left this spirit wholly behind them. They have taken it with them and it has ever kept them loyal to their Alma Mater, and interested in her success. This is what is termed The Mon- mouth College Spirit. Whatever Monmouth has attained to, whatever she has accomplished along any line is the result of this spirit. Because of it she has grown from a meager beginning into one of the best colleges of the middle west ; because of it she was able to face disaster and come up again only the stronger be- cause of her loss. Every student and every alumnus of Monmouth College wishes for her a great future. They hope that she may attain to much greater things in an intellectual as well as in a material sense; that she may grow both in size and strength. They hope that many noble men and women may be sent forth from her walls in the future as in the past. And they will not be disappointed in their fondest hopes; for she has done great things in the past because of The Monmouth College Spirit ; and as long as that spirit fills the heart of every student and alumnus, Monmouth College will continue to advance to greater thing ' s.
