19 S. U. 24 HE question has often been asked. What really makes a College worth while? Is it her fine buildings, her broad and expansive Campus, or is it the men who comprise the members of the Faculty ? ,L It is beyond doubt an established fact the Faculty of an fetiStion is the very Keystone to its power and success. Upon the Fac- ulty depends the very destiny of the Institution, the teachings that are to be given and the doctrines that are implanted in the minds of the pros- pective students who are to be the future leaders of the world, depend solely upon the character of the men who instruct them while in tiieir College career. It is in this respect, that Susquehanna stands pre-eminent among the Colleges of the land. For one of her greatest advantages is the univer- sal acquaintanceship that is obtained by everyone in the Institution, Acquaintanceship that largely brightens into friendship some even farther. Such is true of the faculty student bond, and especially fortunate is our Alma Mater in having such men and women as her Professors. They would be hard to equal as a group, and among them are individual leaders, known over the State and some over the Nation. Where in any corner of this part of the world is one able to find a larger souled, larger visioned and more helpful teaching unit than this one of Alma Mater ' s? There are but few who do not realize the opportunities they are able to enjoy, in being able to learn under the instruction of men of such a calibre as those at Susquehanna University. Men and women who are constantly laboring with untiring efforts and giving the full measure of their devotion and respect. Advising and giving knowledge to the way of living a life of greater service to mankind than otherwise would be. Such pertinacity, such interpretation of .standards, fairness and spiritual power have won for them a place in the heart of every .student, that will hold their instruction in the very highest e.steem in the days to come. There is immen.se significance that we, as .students, must call our Instructors Friends, and then Professors in gratitude for the wonderful .service they rendered and the .sacrifices they made for us, in order that we may have a clearer conception of what the real purposes of life really are, and that we may be able to render greater service to all mankind on our journey thru life. l at:e Sixteen
