The panelled ceiling of the Phelps Stokes Chapel, the whole building, its very brick and mortar constitute the permanent recognition and contribution of student labor. The returning Berea student can point with justifiable pride to his share in building the Chapel, the artistic facade of the Art Building, the carvings on the balconies of the Library, the Arboretum, the Contrast House, the walk to Twin Mountain, etc. Those who were in the service depart- ments were equally proud of the fact that they sawed -wood for Ladies Hall (now Fairchild) or were janitors of the Chapel, the Library, and other important buildings. The Berea worker has many rewarding experiences growing out of his associations with students in labor situations. One Easter while attending a Tau Kappa Alpha convention in Indianapolis, I learned that, a few years, before, a moth- er of that city had inaugurated Easter carols in memory of her only son who had met an early death. And again this year she had trained the boys and girls of her neighborhood for the celebration. Although kept up very late on the night before, and although the singing was to be at dawn and out in the bitter cold, I decided that I must do my little part toward continuing the beautiful custom and thus represent the spirit of Berea in the strange city. As I stood at the Soldiers ' Monument, where the choir sang, a young man come out of the monument to play the tubular chimes for the processional; and, lo, it was the ol d familiar strain, Up From the Grave He Arose. Peering through the mist to catch the expression on the face of the musician, unfamiliarly gowned in a surplice, I recognized a former chimes- ringer and carol-singer of Berea College! He was carrying on the old tradition, presumably alone in his new home. After the service, as I hurried forward to greet the chimes-ringer, the young man came to meet me, he, too, having recognized a Berea friend. We were known to each other by the customary breaking of bread. Students and faculty who have recently shared the experience of those who have surrendered their college careers to enter the services of our country, can testify to the value our labor tasks have been in keeping up our morale and esprit dc corps. Without this absorbing labor what would we have done? One of the most vivid impressions I received on a first visit to Berea a third of a century ago, was that of a practical religious and spiritual atmosphere. The fine collection of forms of religious art carefully and judiciously displayed in important places all over the campus contributed much to this impression. The reproductions in the work shops ap- pealed to me. Of special interest was the one in the Woodwork, the boy Jesus at the carpenter bench. Perhaps this combination of thorough training in class and at the bench by sincere Christian workers has helped toward integrat- ing the academic and religious life of our students. Here progress has been achieved toward the ideal conception of life as envisioned by Van Dyke, — This is the gospel of labor. Ring it, ye bells of the kirk. The Lord of Love came down from above To live with the men who work.
