.I .Iv A SECTION OF THE CAMPUS Soil and Site EW factors are more important for a growing college than soil and site. The soil of the Due West W0man's College is Presbyterian, or more accurately speaking, Associate Reformed Presbyterian. Its founder was an Associate Re- formed Presbyterian minister, and for many years the college has been under the general direction of the Synod of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. It stands in religion and in education and in government for those ideals of intelligence, independent judgment, duty, tolerance, co-operation and the divine significance and purpose of the world, with which ideals the name has ever been associated. But while frankly Asso- ciate Reformed Presbyterian the college has never been sectarian in spiritg its faculty includes teachers of the various denominations. Students from all denominations find themselves equally welcome and able to live in complete accord and mutual respect. As to site, the college stands somewhat back from the village street. The grounds consist of twenty acres, the large part of which is well shaded by forest and ornamental trees, giving that quiet and seclusion conducive to studious habits. In recent years consid- erable attention has been given to beautifying the grounds. Under plans submitted by a competent landscape gardener, Walks and drives have been laid out, evergreen trees and shrubs have been transplanted, Thus year by year a naturally picturesque park is being converted into a classic college campus. 75 L-4 ' 1.

, ... , 1 V- - v.z AROUND THE. FRONT OF MAIN BUILDING From the very beginning the ideal of the Due West Woman's College has been to make of a Due West student a thorough, well-trained, resourceful woman, who should use herself and all she had gained for home, family, social life and public service. Perhaps the attempt to realize this ideal has given her graduates the reputation that has followed them everywhere-that they are eflicient and faithful and fine-spirited and know how to grasp and handle the problems of life. A Better housekeepers, wives, mothers, teachers, stenographers, saleswomen are what we need, says one. Unquestionably the'need is manifest. But better women, Hrst of all, larger in grasp, wider of vision, able to meet the responsibilities of life-that has been the dominant aim of the Due West Woman's College. To contribute to the working world a goodly proportion of such women is her proud record.
