Faculty Through our yet brief span of years, we have figuratively sought the golden lamp of knowledge, scholarship and proficiency in mat- ters spiritual, cultural, scientific, have formed our objectives, our goals. The steep course of our quest, rough and forbidding at the outset, has grown increasingly brighter and clearer as we have progressed, sig- nifying the matchless aid and in- spiration gained frorn teachers and superiors who once trod the same highway. We acknowledge with grateful hearts the brilliant benefits of their disciplined minds, ever ready to impart to others the fruits of their reaping, the lustre of their comprehensive education.
