THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE It is a great pleasure to write a greeting to all readers of the Chimes for 1955, the Centennial Year of Berea College. Since the beginning of the College there have been enrolled 46,543 separate individuals. Students on the campus today and those who will follow are the inheritors of a very great college tradition. We are proud of our hundred years ' accomplishments, and yet the years that are important to us are the years ahead. The test of a college is found in the quality of the lives of its students and grad- uates. I am glad I feel happiness in the years that are past and confi- dence in the years ahead, as present students and those who follow become members of the alumni of Berea College. -Francis S. Hutchins.

It makes no difference whether that person is a stranger or a time worn faculty member, whether the clothes he wears be those of a bank president or a day laborer, before he has been on the campus five minutes, people speak to him. Those people are you, the students and faculty of Berea, and it is you who make this place known to all who come here as a place where people like each other. A part of the atmos- phere is different than it was thirty years ago but that is only because the school is growing. New buildings, more people, and closer schedules have stepped up the tempo here, but there is always time for a chat and a cheery hello. It is you who have made it that way, and it is you who can keep it that way, so it is to you the people who are connected with Berea College, the students, faculty, the alumni and the students of the future that this 1955 CHIME S is dedicated.
