XS ' l R[ ' MJi J AL HI llic ii.sr uj Duke Iroin a Miiall, - truggliug college to the foremosl wiiversitr of the South in little over a quarter oj a century have beeu its athniuistrators and fnafessors. These men through their viston. latience. and intellect have guided the I ' niversity in a iroorani that is never stationary hut ahcays changing. Mistakes were made, hut each timi they emerged iviser and better counselors, directors, and teachers. The administration has adopted the policy of a hetter not a higger university. Their tmfhasis on e uality and not quantity is evidenced hy the recent development fnogram that has stressed hetter facilities for students in housing, recreation, and education. Research, which is an essential ingredient to the progress of any educational institution, is advancing in the important realms oj physics and medicine. Ahove all, the President and his assistants strive to maintain communication with the students. They become his disciplinarian, his counselor, his friend. In the final analysis, however, it is the student who determines hoiv much he should be governed. As a consequence, students have beeu given only that share in their government for which they are willing to assume responsibility. Because Duke is a liberal arts college, the faculty s purpose is not to teach the students special skills, but to teach them how to think. In teaching students to make logical decisions from the evidence present, the faculty hopes to show them the academic relationship to real life. It is not, however, the courses or the facts taught by profes.sors that students will remember in later years. Rather it is the impact of the personalities — how the professors think and what their ideas mean in terms of life. Their in- fluence as men is their distinct contribution to the university without which its climate IS sterile and barren. The realization if the students ' true relation to the administration and to the faculty is the first step in the process of education.
