zmmmmmmmnammmaw Amman ,4 5 C566 Qresident? Message - a WegT is very diHicult for me to write about the IIprogreSS 1$g 0f the college,, during this year. Being very much Of Q... U i V 1X? work, I have little upon Which to base a conclusion. 3 393 3 There have been many evidences of progress but I a a freshman both at San Jose and at this kind of E 5 V4 1 s M I; have no way of knowing Whether that progress has a s been modest, or just normal, or possibly phenomenal. However, it a I all looks very satisfactory to me. ' b I cannot think of a college more attractive than San Jose. It always A g strikes me as Wholesome, normal, practical. The community is repre- a g sentativeenot too large, nor too small, nor too interested, nor too a 3 uninterested. Our equipment is usable, not impossible, not perfect. r 5 Our students come from near-by districts, many of them living at a g home. They are not too given to college life as fresh, but still college a g - days are great days to most of them. As I read from time to time some a -.I of the student ideas as they come to the surface in print, I realize that .6 V this is truly an institution of learning. I doubt if we learn very much g I Without a good deal of trial and error. We seem to have a few so-called 5 a IIradicalsf, students Who have read, or heard expressed, light-Weight n one-sided ideas and Who retail them as their own, but there is not Q much of that. I have talked to many of our students this year and I 3 am convinced that they are fine. The college numbers on its roll many s quiet thinkers, line, Wholesome, eHicient young men and women Who are Willing to make real eHbrts. It is a pleasure to know them and to work With them. g A 34 a a The faculty, too, come in for my sincere admiration. We have With a us men and women Who have been trained in the best institutions the a world affords. They are bringing to us ripe scholarship, eHicient effort, and clear, Wholesome thlnking. a This has been a great year to me; a real joy in my acquaintance a a a i a i With such a college as San Jose. What progress has really been made only the future can determine. 7, mmmmmr I manage DR. MAC QUARRIE V 7' I a VK '3 l 5 3 V I 3 l g i l i k ' Al N VJ
