Last year we had a revolution in our college publication. Enough Bethanians had enough American pioneer blood in their veins to forsake the beaten path for somethi ng new. Thus, the Bethanian, as a monthly magazine, came into being. This year we plan no revolution but will be satisfied with evolu- tion. With one year of valuable experience be- hind us, we plan to use it as a base of supplies and plunge deeper into this unexplored collegi- ate journalistic field. The Bethanian has a two-fold purpose. First, it will supply information concerning Bethany life and thought, that will stimulate its readers as individuals and organizations, and serve as a record like the old Bethanian as a year-book did. Second, it will be a means of expression for those students that are literary minded, and those in- terested in creative work in illustration and pho- tography. The staff will attempt to ferret out those that have talent in writing short stories, The Evolution of the verse, or any other form of creative writing. It shall try to co-operate with the Art Club and the Photographer ' s Club (if one is formed) to pro- duce a well illustrated magazine. Like last year ' s Bethanian, this year ' s editorial policy will not be a one-man viewpoint. It shall try to voice the opin- ions of the students but only that of those stu- dents truly interested in n«AL« ; the welfare of our Al- Bethanian ma Mater. We believe in the Bethanian as a maga- zine. We believe in its purposes. We believe it is the best means to portray Bethany life. We be- lieve in its future even as we believe in Bethany ' s future. We believe in the plan of Alexander Capmbell; his Plan of a Literary, Moral, and Religious School. We believe that the Bethanian should have a definite part in helping to carry out that plan. We believe that it can. With these beliefs in mind, we do not hesitate to present our magazine, the Bethanian of Bethany. The Hundred Years have rolled — and the first hundred are reputed to be the hardest. It has been a tough hundred years. Although the years have merely rolled, Bethany has climbed. In its long climb the college has met adversity and even failure. Bacon claimed prosperity dis- covers vice; adversity, virtue. Andrew Car- negie said that failure should be stepping stones to success. Both were right. Bethany has virtue, and Bethany will succeed. Its tradi- tional ideals and purposes have been the essence of strength and effectiveness. Alexander Camp- bell ' s vision is being materialized. Another hundred years has started to roll. But Bethany must not roll, coast with the years on its past record. Bethany must continue to climb. She can not stand still, nothing can stand still; she must either climb or decline. Bethany must progress — spiritually, academically, socially and physically. A col lege is made by its students. The best professors in the world, having the best equip- Last Century—And This ment in the world would not make a college. It takes students. Good students. It is up to us. We, the students, can make or break Bethany. We must be good students. That doesn ' t mean that we must merely stand high academically; but that we must be faithful Bethanians, conscious of the fact that we must make our college not only the best aca- demically, but the most pleasant, the most de- sirable institution to which to come for an education. We can do this by being our best in athletics, extra-curricular, and social activities. We can do our best by not doing anyone of these too much or too little. Be neither the athlete who is a social bore, nor the social hound whose one feat of dexterity is balancing a teacup. Be neither the brain who can ' t find time to date, nor the jitter- bug who can ' t find time to study. Find time for a well-balanced college life. Last century belongs to the past. This cen- tury is ours. They did a good job with their hun- dred years. Let us do a better one with ours.
