A Greater University Dean A. N. Merrill EATNESS ill educational institutions can be measured only by the influence thev have over the lives of the men and women who attend them. Endow- ments for maintenance and grandeur in buildings are sometimes urged as ele- ments in greatness: but after all these are as mere incidents when compared with the power of the institution in shaping the lives of its students. The first element of greatness is spirit. By spirit we mean an influence which dominates and fashions mens lives, restrains their acts, and inspires them to endeavors in the right direction. It is that which lasts. Through its power, the institution is magnified when the students are far away. It enters into the heart and soul of things, inspiring the feeling that this is the best. It emanates from everything. It endears every nook and corner of the institution and enlivens every function and activity. By its power all things arc unified. A greater University, then, means greater evidence of that which we call spirit: the thing which makes for a greater unity of purpose and a stronger determination to bring things to pass. The second element of greatness is Purpose. Every school has a purpose; but to be great, a school should have a unique purpose, one which is specific and clearly defined, a pur- pose which ever beckons onward but is always a little too high when one attempts to reach it. The unique purpose of the University is reflected in the conduct of its graduates. More greatness means larger numbers of graduates with still more lofty purposes. Endowments adequate to facilitate business always contributes to the achievement of greatness. In schools, this condition is brought about by supplying Finances adequate to insure the present contentment and future assurance of those who labor therein: by supply- ing the necessary means to carry on educational activities: and by attracing a virile teach- ing staff, one whose words and deeds shall win students. Supply these to the Brighaiu Young University and one might as well try to stay the north winel as to prevent the insti- tution reaching greater heights of achievement. Unsatisfied needs is an S. O. S. call: a stmulus to greater initiative; an urgent in- vitation, not only to the school, but also to its patrons. Every increasing need serves as stepping stones to ever increasing greatness. A background of worthy Traditions throws every virtue of a school into bold relief. Tra- ditions are the impregnable bulworks of every University. Traditions from the past serve as reminders to the present that the future is depending upon us. They are as a strong man stripped for the struggle, standing braced with arms forward. Traditions, however, can brace an institution only as they are constantly enlarged by new achievements. As the stu- dents of bygone days paint in glowing colors the victories of the yesterdays, the stutlents 01 totlay are being stimulated to constantly increasing resolutions to excel. They plunge into their activities as if the eyes of the centuries were upon them. Thus new glories are added, another splendid tradition is affixed, and one more step is taken toward the Goal of true Greatness.
