DEAN OF MEN I-IEY say ThaT reminiscence is The vice oT age. In spiTe oT my youTh I am TempTed To engage in iT Tor I may never have anoTher chance. IT is iusT TwenTy years ago ThaT I TirsT became connecTed wiTh Coe College. Since ThaT Time There have been some remarkable developmenTs. The TacuITy has more Than doubled and is beTTer prepared. The curriculum has been greaTly enriched. In The class oT I9I3 There were 3I graduaTes. There are Tour Times ThaT number in The presenT graduaTing class. The acTual value oT our presenT campus and buildings has more Than Trebled. The same Thing is True oT our endowed Tunds. I would Iilce To claim crediT Tor some oT This. I am aT leasT glad ThaT I have observed The advancemenT oT The college Trom The inside and been a parT oT iT. For in The Acorn of l9I3 my name appears in The lisT oT FaculTy AssisTanTs as an InsTrucTor in Bible. So much Tor The pleasure oT reminiscence. WhaT abouT The presenT? IT may well be called a period oT uncerTainTy. We are a biT hesiTanT in our plans. NOT ThaT we are aT all uncerTain abouT The TuTure oT The college. We are noT sure, however, iusT whaT ThaT TuTure is To be. The college is much in The same siTuaTion as The sTudenT himselT. I-Ie may be Thoroughly convinced ThaT he has a TuTure buT is noT aT all con- vinced ThaT he Icnows iusT where he is going. IT is also a period oT adiusTmenT To re- duced incomes. The resulT is a reducTion oT expenses and oTTerings. There is The con- seguenT danger oT reducing educaTion iTseIT. AgainsT This we may well sound a warn- ing. IT There ever is a Time when one needs ali The resources oT The spiriT aTTainabIe, IT is now. For This period oT adiusTmenT and uncerTainTy will pass and The Coe College oT The TuTure will be greaTer and beTTer iusT as The college oT Today surpasses +ha+ oT TwenTy years ago. In ThaT assured progress I coveT a share and in my conTacT wiTh The sTu- denT body hope To mainTain and, if necessary, renew my youTh. I-IARRY KREMERS 21
