Qt raneiisante DQ Alfred's Traditions new HE highest end of education is not to make scholars simple or skilled workmen, but rather to develop character- strong, noble, beautiful.

In doing this she has made and is making scholars ' Xuglki' and skilled workmen, but with them she is not satisfied. Her greatest aim is to crown their intellectual and material achievements with strong manly character. il Her history is a history of earnest, Christian characters who have sacri- liced to the utmost that she might live, grow, and give to the world, men and women who have learned from her that the end of true scholarship is service. These noble characters stand for service, 1'idelity and truth. Their persistent and sacrificing toil gives us our Alfred as she is today, the Alfred whose greatest treasure and pride lies in manhood's clear eyes and woman- hood's high stainless name. il' Our college has ever stood, and must ever stand high above all the degrad- ing inliuences of the world that militate against truth. For what is a college but a center representing truth, truth in its completeness! Moreover, it is the duty of the college to send this truth out into the world in ever widening circles of light and infiuence. This Alfred has ever done, and in so doing has reached practically every corner of the earth. ' il Around the qualities of character, service, fidelity and truth all the worth- while and lasting traditions of our college have grown. And to those who were, to us who are, and to those who will be students of old A.
