IT has been shown by sTaTisTics ThaT earning power is in- creased by a college educaTion. Along wiTh This naTurally go beTTer social posiTions and The saTisTacTion oT being among Those who know. The opporTuniTies Tor employ- menT and TuTure advancemenT are believed To be increased Through The Training, The experience, and The culTure oT The college liTe. These consideraTions are worThy and iT There were noThing more would iusTiTy The advenTure. However, Trom The sTandpoinT oT Those who have Tounded insTiTuTions oT learning and who supporT Them eiTher by direcT beneTacTions or Through TaxaTion, There are oTher and, To Them, Tar weighTier consideraTions. Such people are Thinking in Terms oT'human welTare and progress. Their eyes are Toward The disTanT TuTure. They TrusT ThaT nobiliTy oT characTer, clariTy oT Thinking, and The impulse Tor service will mark Those who come under The inTluence oT The college.

They s+iII believe wiTh The Greek philosopher ThaT There is a relaTion beTween ThaT which is True and ThaT which is good and noble. The real Teacher's greaTesT ioy is To lead in The search Tor TruTh, believing ThaT The l i T ll T TruTh makes Tree and ThaT Treedom in iTs TullesT meaning is The goal OT The race. y S. W.
