soUfWEsTER 1936 PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Perhaps never before in the history ot America, has the liberalvarts college so con- vincingly proved its worth to our Country, as in the past half dozen years. These recent years have called not so much for men and Women of specialized knowledge, of technical skill, or vocational Htness. The call has been for men and Women of enlightened intelli- gence, of social vision, of ethical principles, men and Women with a passion for justice and righteousness, and with a spirit of unself- ish devotion to the common welfare. 'The liberal arts college was founded to pro- duce this type of citizen. It is this quality of men and Women Drury seeks to have go forth from her halls. Recognizing that the building of such characters is the supreme nw: -sion of the College, Drury sets herself, reverently and resolutely, to the accomplish- ment of this challenging task. Sincerely, Thomas W. Nadal. Page Tlll'l'lE672 Home of the President
