Chapel Prelude President Leslie Parrott and with liberated hostage Rev. Lawrence Martin Jenco prepare to go on stage for Jenco ' s chapel presentation. Phofo hy G. Wickersham Because It Is A It ' s up to you. It ' s true . . . and you had better believe it . . . not because the Au- rora Editor says so . . . but be- cause it is a fact of life . . . You can do what you willing to do . . . whether other people think you can or not . . . They are not re- sponsible for you . . . You are. For instance: Nobody can in- timidate you unless you let them . . . You can climb the mountain . . . Why not? . . . Even if you fail, there is something to be said for trying . . . Students with good grades are no smarter than those with average grades . . . Confi- dence, commitment and courage all come before IQ . . . Somebody can measure your skills, but no one can take the measure your skills, but no one can take the measure of your willingness to pay the price in time and effort. That ' s up to you. This idea that it is up to us has driven the motivational engine of Olivet for 80 years . . . T.W. Wil- lingham decided it was up to him to save the fledging institution at Olivet, Illinois, from bankruptcy. . . . A.L. Parrott decided it was up him move Olivet fron the old burned out location south of Dan- ville to the commodious campus vacated by St. Viator ' s in Bour- bonnais ... It was not easy, but he did it . . . Harold W. Reed de- cided it was up to him to give the kind of leadership it deserved . . . And he did it for 26 years . . . That is how we got accreditation, cam- pus construction and financial stability. And now it is up to us . . . Com- pleting the plan is just one more step in the way Olivet does things . . . There is a convocation ath- letic center to be built . . . There is a idea of a university to be de- veloped . . . There is a faculty sal- ary structure to be lifted . . . And on . . . and on . . . and on! We can and we will . . . be- cause it is up to us. By Leslie Parrott, President f M 8 PRESIDENT
