o R I E N 'r FROM THE PRESIDENT HE school year of 1936-37 is coming to a close, as all things good or bad must. To each and all of us, I am certain, this year just closing has brought joys as well as sorrows. New fields of learning have opened to our view: new friends have widened our interest in lifeg and hopes we never realized before have beckoned us on to greater endeavors. lt is the hope of Ball State that all of you in the Class of 1937 have acquired habits of learning that will compel you to be learners all your life. XVhether you are in college halls, in open fields, or in store rooms, if you will apply your mind carefully to your tasks you will succeed. The learner always has n job and is always in line to serve his fellow men. V If you will only think, even though thinking may be dangerous, Ball State will be proud to claim you as one of her sons or daughters. L. A. PITTENGER, Presidwzf. Ihzgv Tu'm1Iy-four 1937 me. Il 'Z'

RALPH NOYFR Dv.-.m of the College ORIEN1' 'lIt matters little, said a wise man, where you are, but it matters much in what direction you are going. You and I in the adventure of education have moved in the direction of a college of a quality rather than of quantity. This has not been easy. But the problems We have tried to solve together have given us faith in our ability to maintain some control over the future. In many respects we have merely started what we hoped to complete. We have caught a vision, however, of what a college can and must be, a select body of like-minded persons inspired by faith in the power of intelligence and its two instru- ments, knowledge and reason.
