IDA Alll.lSORN VUEIZKS WllCIlClC1' we come into thy halls, To learnings purpose set apart, Be Thou from whom all knowledge falls, Be Thou in every mind and heart. ln vain we read the sages wofcl i And vain to us the pizetys song If We in these have never heard Thy voice, that breathes the lines along Wlmat is all science but a stair On which we climb, O Lord, to Thee! And all our art a mirror fair. W'herein, thy gracious form to see! O come, who art our need supreme, That all our labor he not Vain, Reveal Thyself, the only theme That merits human toil and pain.

DR. WERTER R. DAVIS u Erviieit R. DAVIS first president of Baker University was also Bakers first hitch-hiker. Having been elected president of l-Baker Uni- versity, he arrived in Lawrence too late to catch a coach which had left for the south. Dr. Davis started to walk to Baldwin. VVhen a distance from Lawrence he over took a man driving an ox cart. Dr. Davis accepted an in- vitation to ride to his destination. Soon after the opening of school in the fall of 1858, Dr. Davis was standing in front of l.3aker's initial building, Old Castle. A farmer drove up and stopped. After addressing Dr. Davis he inquired, 'fAre you grinding any grist today ? Dr. Davis replied that the finest of grist was being ground, for we are training young men and young women for Christian living and leadership. So from the time of Dr. Werter Davis to the present Bakerls chief concern has been the training of young people for Christian living and leadership.
