Prof«Mo St»ph«n Whitn«jr Heretofore on thru page have appeared aome word of admonition Rather, now. I wiah to express my appreciation to the opportunity I have had to adv»e with the students of this College Almost without exception, 1 find you kind and thoughtful I can therefore deplore many of the things you do without losing faith in you. Nature has so arranged matters that young people are physically attractive until they acquire some brains and sense and are able to live by their wits; then they lose their super¬ ficial advantage 1 oung people are decorative; that is why we like them. They are slen- der, agile fair, and graceful, because nobody could stand them if they were otherwise It would be horrible if boys and girls, knowing as little as they do. were grev-haired. fat. wrin- kled. and double-chinned. I can. then, enjoy youth without regret. I can. as it were, view life through achromatic lenses rather than through the illusion of a kaleidoscope. If the happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, we are bound to grow happier »t wr advance in years, because our minds have more interesting thoughts. A well-ordered life, is like climbing a lower; the view half way up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands. •Pn.ni Bapplasss,- by William l.xon Pliclna j Yes. we are now a College of Education. Perhaps the most outstanding single event in the history of this institution is its official enrollment in the fraternity of colleges, it recogni¬ tion as an integral part of our great system of higher education Next year, 1938. we shall celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the first Normal School in Amer¬ ica. Notwithstanding the fact the Normal Schools of this country have likely started more young people on the road to higher scholarship and social service than any other class of insti¬ tutions in the land, yet they have had to struggle Continuously, not only for their own exis- fence, but for the academic recognition of their graduates. To me this is our great Educa¬ tional tragedy. That the Normal Schools in this country have held an inferior place in the academic field is due to the fact that we borrowed the institution from Germany. TheTe the Normal School had no academic standing whatsoever. Its graduates were supposed to teach in the peasant elementary schools, but under no condition could they attend a higher institution for further education. In this country most of our higher institutions were inclined to take a similar attitude to our Normal Schools. There is something very significant about the College of Education. In the family of colleges, it is the only institution whose primary function it is to stimulate and evaluate human character, and to keep alive the principle and purposes of the larger life of mankind. In other words, this institution is the gateway into the larger life. Into whatever other college one may go for his life pursuit, he should first be baptized with the spirit and the philosophy of the College of Education. WILLIAM T. STEPHENS.
