A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT This is my sixteenth and last message for Ashland College Pine Whispers. Sixteen years ago, | took over the man- agement of the Institution when Pine Whis- pers was in its youth. Since that far-off date, many changes have come into the world no less than in Ashland College. Every depart- ment of the College has expanded,—finances, faculty, curricu'!a, physical plant, and general Organization. | could count books added to the library. bv the thousands, buildings erected, grounds beautified, faculty enlarged, recognition gain- ed, enrollment increased from less than 75 as a total to many hundreds, and many other achievements, not the least of which is the matter of articles published by our faculty members in many learned publications. However, not these, in my judgment, constitute the real advances within past six- teen years. | count the greatest achievement, the making and keeping of Ashland College a place of real intellectual enlightenment and wholesome Christianity. A church-connected college should be just that,—a place of genuine enlightenment and sound Chris- tianity. There doubtless are dark places in the educational system of the country, where these two factors do not prosper, but not so at Ashland. And it is my fondest hope and most ardent wish that Ashland College may, above all else, continue just so, a place where the intellectual light is clear, unafraid, un- quenched, and safely guarded, while at the same time it may continue as a place where the ideals of real Christianity are exalted. “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free’’. Any other objectives will not only defeat the historic purpose of Ashland Col- lege, but in the end defeat the purpose and goal of real education. EDWIN E. JACOBS 10
