Thus the act of teaching is at once the ultimate expression of his humanity and his initial act of faith. He strives for goals that are a thousand miles or years away. THOMAS E. BRUISTER B.S..

w V- fil H FACULTY i Nothing in the make-up of a col- lege can supersede the importance of the teacher. It is the teacher who deals every day in the realm of great ideas and great themes that make the dif- ference in malleable lives. The teacher is both a resource and a guide. He is sympathetic enough to point the way, but he is wise enough to make the student walk alone, for he knows that learning is never a passive thing. He illustrates that good teaching is a per- sonal interchange, the striking of a spark from one mind to another. He must encourage the student not only to consume but to produce, and to pro- duce to the best of his ability. Al- ways he must hold up to the student the vision of excellence, not once in a while, but habitually. Only in the teacher with vision does the college have a reason for being. 1 I «.
