g c r c g Eastern Acquire wisdom, real wisdom, which inspects, discerns, com- pares, weighs, separates, infers, seizes the right and holds it to the last. — Young. There were three wise men in Kentucky who journeyed from the North, the East and the West. Led by a vision far into the future, they came to the campus that was once the home of old Central University. Other Kentuckians had dreamed dreams and by legislation had made pos- sible a teachers ' training school there. A small school it was and they needed a real man for its leader. Dr. Ruric Nevell Roark journeyed from Clark Uni- versity to become its first president in 1906. So came the first wise man and the school prospered and grew. In 1910 Dr. John Grant Crabbe, the second wise man, began his journey that led to Eastern. He came with a wealth of experience, personal ability and de- votion to the cause of education. As president, his vision made greater things possible and gradually that same school became bigger and better. The third wise man is our own President, Thomas Jackson Coates, who has guarded the interests of Eastern since 1910. This third wise man is President of a Teachers College granting its first baccalaureate degrees this year — a college it is, full grown at nineteen years; a standard college despite its youth; a college with equipment and faculty sufficiently strong to compete with the best of schools ; a college with a future for itself and all Kentucky; a monument to those who dreamed the dream of its making; a lighthouse to all those who shall, in the future, dedicate their lives to the cause of education in Kentucky; a project so carefully directed by three wise men as to claim the admiration of all. Far into the future gleams the light to guide all would-be-wise-men. To them we fling the challenge of service to Kentucky- — a service loyal to Eastern. From year to year the Seniors of 1925 shall welcome others who will journey from Eastern Teachers College to serve Kentucky according to the ideals of their beloved Alma Mater, yjzrvj G . jz m Twenty-six
