PERCY DESDHIND YVILKINS, NLS.: RAYBOBN LINDLEY ZEBBY. Ph.D.: an educated man has respect for facts, sensitivity to beauty and order, appreciation of the achievements of mankind in many fields, responsiveness to unexplored possibilities not yet realized in human experience. He therefore chooses his life's activity with understanding. makes decisions based upon inclusive information and applied intelligence, works with and in any present social order but does not let its imperfections mark the limit of his vision. He is efficiently cooperative and constructively critical-neither cynical nor sentimental.

Fon r ANDEIIS MA'I l'SON MYIIRMAN, A.M.: to some, college is a device for the prolongation of infancyg to others, it is a gate to the ceaseless struggle for the fullness of life. He who enters this gate and presses on is educating himself. :moons Qlflmnv, Ea.M.: can you read the secrets of nature and the hearts of your fellow men? Do you react effectively to your en- vironment? can you write your name in the esteem of mankind and as the maker ol' a better world, do you effectively influence your environment? then you have an education. ROBERT GEIIRGE BERKELMAN, A.M.: the ideally educated man or woman, I believe, has in- tense intellectual enthusiasms and is becoming well- rounded without turning into a chilly billiard ball. Ll.0YIl WELLINGTCIN FISHER, Ph.D.: I believe that it is the function of a Liberal Arts Follege to give to its students the fundamentals that form a sound foundation for the fullest enjoyment of life. It should train the student to face the world, not with un- limited ego, but with the sincere desire and purpose to serve in the best way possible.

1' S li.I'fl'l' IZ IHDBEBT DIIUGLASS SEIVARD, A.M.: my well educated mann?-YYith Terence he says, I consider nothing human alien to me. And not only does he syrnpathetieally flzinlf of men, but he has developed as far as practicable his capacities for actively lzelping them. Finally, to meet life untlinchingly, he feels that under- neath are the everlasting arms. ANGELO PIIILIP BERTOCCI, A.M.: to train in the technique for finding facts, to develop sen- sitiveness to meanings, response to beauty, practical devotion to true ideals-that is the essential function of the Liberal Arts Follege. An enriched consciousness, balanced appreciations, the habit of self-discipline-these are the marks of the cultured man. SELIl0N TUPPEII CRAFTS: some one said, an educated man must know everything about something and something about everything. But unless his training has developed his character so that he has a strong religious impulse, a keen sense of right living, a tolerance of ot.her's opinions, and a love for the beautiful, he cannot qualify. WILLIAM BENJAMIN THOMAS, Ph.D.: he who weighs the present using the counterpoise of the past: he who has acquired much knowledge, augmented with great wisdom, and tempered in the fire of experience: he who has marshaled his talent into a powerful current through the deepening process of specialization, he who can be still and know God: he is an educated man.
