S Nf (M-(( i a ' M mrii JLm TTs ' :l p- cJSMl T V R. E Eastern ' s greatest contribution to Richmond is the oppor- tunity it affords our young people to obtain a high class edu- cation. Here, any boy or girl, regardless of wealth or lack of it, may obtain a good education at a minimum expense. No Richmond boy or girl, with the slightest degree of ambition, need lack a college education. Eastern with its curricula of arts and science, adds to the cultural tone of our city. Association with the splendid corps of teachers in the school develops our cultural education and brings to the fore the better things in life and living. Learned, well written articles, prepared by Eastern faculty members and published in current periodicals, scholarly addresses made by Eastern faculty members in many parts of the county, all attract favorable attention to our city. Eastern brings to our city a high type of citizen. The fine young men and women who attend our school and the men and women of the faculty are a credit to our city. And in business, Eastern adds much to our community. With a plant worth a million dollars, with a large corps of teachers and instructors, and with a large student body con- stantly in residence in Richmond, many hundreds of thousands of dollars pour into the coffers of our merchants and citizens. Richmond ' s stores are better than the stores in the average town our size because of Eastern. Our merchants appreciate greatly the cordial relations that exist between them and the faculty and student body of our school. Through its splendid athletic teams, Eastern brings favora- ble publicity to our city in each sport season. All in all, Eastern means much to Richmond. Our city is fortunate to be the seat of such a school. FRANK H. SHAFFER, Secretary, Richmond Chamber of Commerce. 4M T Ft A D 1:1 r: -- Mm E j-jTT lgjJ ' v k-i- j-j: A - w

Desire for knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases with the acquisition of it. The mind of man is improved by learning and reflection. We place a happy life in tranquility of mind. We should not be contented with insignificance if we are able to hew our way to better things. From this abundant source comes another nugget of gleaming yellow. This is service to our fellowmen. A man ' s true wealth is the good that he does to his fellows. Everyone must realize when he enters an institution of learning that he must serve. This means not only physical service but also service with the heart and mind. There are many ways in which we have served. Some served gladly, others grumblingly. In college we learned to offer our service where it would be the most useful and to make an effort to do our best. The art of serving was brought out in our clubs and organizations. We learned to do our part, and we yielded ourselves to the making of a perfect whole whether on the football field or on the stage. ' All are needed by each one; Nothing is fair or good alone. And so we present to you the Milestone of 1934 hoping that it, in years to come, may bring back to you memories of the college where you made friends, received knowledge and learned to serve. . . . this thread of gold, We would not have it tarnish; let us turn Oft and look back upon the wondrous web, And when it shineth, sometimes we shall know That memory is possession.
