PteAident Voi jt One of the most thrilling experiences of a Simpson student is a visit with President Edwin Edgar Voigt. As the student enters his office, President Voigt rises from his chair, extends a cordial greeting and invites the student to be seated. In this quiet, sincere and friendly atmosphere, Dr. Voigt asks the student his interests and plans and proceeds to give enlightening views on them. The student, without doubt, is proud to know that he can visit and talk things over with President Voigt. At the end of these inspiring words, Dr. Voigt rises, wishes the student success, and shakes hands. Yes, he lias actually filled you with a new desire to strive ahead! Not only is President Voigt’s friendly and sincere per- sonality extended to students, but his whole-hearted smile greets everyone he meets. He is indeed a loyal booster and an out- standing contributor to Simpson, and we as students and friends consider it a privilege to know him. He is a man who has entered many fields and has demon- strated his keen abilities. These are the reasons it is a thrilling experience to meet and to know President Voigt.
