Her ideals have always been high and therefore she has aided her students in forming high ideals.

RAVELINGS mnnmnutli (Enlbg For over a half a century Monmouth Colleg-e has sent the effects of her good influence throughout the world. Her mission has been to train the youth into a man of understanding, the maid into a woman full of the true qualities of womanhood, and this mission has been well performed. In every walk of life we may see examples of her product, rising high above their fellows, men of might in the world; all corners of the globe give evidence to the fact that at least one smaH college is a success.

We speak of a Greater Monmouth but she can be greater only in equipment and facilities.
