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.

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. PAUL YYHITBECK. an ideally educated man is one with sufficient knowledge and appreciation of the past to enable him to live most fully and Worthily in the present and to look forward hope- fully to the future.

PETER ANTll0NY BEBT0l'CI, ideal education involves the training of all the emotions, so that each will enjoy depth, range, and inspiring harm ony with the rest. Knowledge must guide the adjustment of emotions to the realm of nature, persons, and deity, for only thus will true freedom of mind and heart be achieved. The educated man feels, thinks, and acts harmoniously. Ph.D.: AUGUST BUSCHMANN, A.M.: the educated man delights in the strenuous exercise of his N , disciplined body and mind, searches for the beautiful in the works of God and man, and is not unmindful of his obligation to his fellow me11. Ls,m ,1 RGDBERT EARLE McGEE, A.B.: the Liberal Arts College should have as its ideal, in Arn- old's words, a disinterested endeavour to learn and propa- gate the best that is known and thought in the world , it should encourage, in a healthy moral atmosphere, the development of a well-informed, independent, critical mind in a sound body. PAUL ROBlNSON SWEET, Ph.D.: an ideally educated man is one who asks questions always, but never foolish questions. Page Sl'l'l'l1fC!'7Z
