Dean of Women’s “In dedicating Message this year’s Beaver to the Bonnevillcdam, the senior class might well declare itself to be marching under the banner of Progress. This great undertaking in its inception, in the money which is making it possible, in its purpose and the standards which arc to be established in the future—is distinctly a symbol of modern social thought. It is well that men and women now in our institutions of higher learning realize the importance of understanding the Dr. Kate v. Jamemx. Dram if iFom n world of today. It matters little, what we wish were the standards and ideals of our present day civilization! It is necessary to know what they arc, how these standards have changed and what is the underlying thought in present social policies. To spend four years preparing for a life work by obtaining a thorough knowledge of the past, a courageous acceptance of the present, and a vision of the future is well worth while. It is to be hoped that the men and women in college today will so prepare themselves that they will be ready to meet the needs of the present day world.” Kate W. Jameson, Dean of Women. Dr. I'. G. Dcrach. l)ran oj Mm Dean of Men’s Message “Bonneville when completed will represent the results of one of the great efforts of our government to transform the power of a mighty river into electric current. Kducation, science, research have made this possible. The project will be helpful only to the extent we arc able to devise means of wise distribution of the electric power so that it may be made available to satisfy the needs of the people to a maximum extent. In almost every phase of our living, education has developed tremendous power knowledge. And yet society, generally, is in distress. 'The problem now—for those who have the privilege of education—is to develop wise controls of this power so that social needs may be satisfied through its judicious use.” U. G. Dubach, Dean of Men. 20
