Each trustee plays a strikingly vital role in the formation of college policy and in the upholding of the ideals promulgated by the college founders. The college has been and will be in the years to come highlighted by its p erpetual growth and rapid ar]|ustments. The Board will, as it has so effectively done in the | ize difficult situations and exert its finest concerted effort in making solutions. It also meets to fulfill duties such as determining the annual college budget — which is done at the fall meeting. The decisions made by the trustees and the sub- sequent action taken are significant in the formula- tion and constancy of the reputation of the college. It is by these decisions that the composite view of Elizabethtown is judged.

Progress . . New occasions teach new duties. Time makes ancient good uncouth; Then must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. — Lowell A gem with its many facets can be compared with the many phases of a college education. Just as the gem is the result of the integra- tion of many facets, so also the ideal student is the result of inte- gration of various facets of campus living — academic, social, and aesthetic. Through the efforts of students, faculty, and administra- tion these three phases of college life are integrated in such a man- ner as to guide and to stimulate mental and spiritual curiosity. Faculty and administration give direction by stirring a purpose within the hearts of their students. Sometimes it may be worthwhile to ask the question of what and who is a guide. He may appear to be the ultimate authoritv, but in the final analysis he is the welcomer of student ideas and contributions. The heart of a true guide possesses the desire to in- spire as well as to instruct, and if he is indeed wise, he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. » Students who follow the guiding hand of these leaders combine the academic, social, and aesthetic phases of college life enabling them to move onward and upward fulfilling the duties of new occasions.
