George H. Brimhall Vrciidc lit -Emeritus c YOUNG MAN said to mc, The B. Y. U. is a good school but it has no great state behind it. I replied, No, but it has something behind it greater than any state. It has the interest of a people with homes in many states, a people whose destiny is to lead the world. Decades have passed since the conversation and my belief in the onwardness of the school has had good soil for growth. The speed of our advancement has exceeded expectations. The output of the Brigham Young University is an asset unmeasurable. Once a student always an advocate is said of those who have attended its classes. To be a member of its student body or of its faculty means to become a Banyan tree trunk, 3 live pillar on a growing structure that gets its expansion from the light of revelation and the soil of science. To become a graduate of the Banyan School is to be equipped with choice implements of usefulness and filled with a desirable spirit of helpfulness. .[23].

Joseph F. Merrill , Siipcrhifeiich ' iif of Church Schools y REETINGS to the students of the Brigham Young University. We congratulate you on the opportunity of receiving a college training in the high moral and refined spiritual atmosphere of this institution. To you much has been given, of you much will be required. Are you loyal to the B. Y. U.? Your conduct gives the answer. The good name of the University is in your keeping. It is not so much what you know as it is what you do that will help or hurt your Alma Mater. In this respect your responsibility is incomparably greater than that borne by students of state-supported institutions. May you not fail in your duty either to yourselves or to the B. Y. U. Your life here has been pleasant and profitable, made so, by your industry and the spirit of the School. This spirit is that of love and service. May you breathe it deeply and keep it with you always. ij|lf1if!ili« Ul ' lllllhl: Jillllil9ittiia!ilililfilliimiililiilllllliiiHililliiill ' [22] ll|l|

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION People who believe in the importance of genealogy and ancestry readily concede that the College of Education has reason to be proud since its origin goes back to the very beginning of the Institution. When the University was founded, it began its career as the Church Teacher ' s College. In 1920 its title was changed to the School of Edu- cation and in 1921 it evolved into the present College. The aim of this department is preparation for leadership — intellectually and socially. Theo- retical knowledge is supplemented by practical experience in the training school, a part of the division. The work, both elementary and second- ary, is standard and meets state requirements. In seven years (1920-1927) the number graduated from this college increased from ten to thirty-four. John C. Swenson, acting Dean during the absence of Dean L. John Nuttall, has managed the affairs of the college successfully. His knowledge of society and its needs has made his assistance especially valuable in this field. John C. Svcenson Dean tW Front Ron — John C. Swensen, Franklin S. Harris, George H, P.rimhall.
