Goshen Glollege ecord FORMERLY INSTITUTE MONTHLY. Devoted to the Interests of Christian Education. Vol. 15. GOSHEN. INDIANA, JUNE 1913. No. 14 Emblem Oration George Lapp , + X The splendid motto of this CQ-Q College, Culture f o r SC1'V1CCH,dlL once suggests Q I 6' the lofty ann of the insti- I I tution, the true ring of . all her various activities, and the great possibilities she offers to 1909 EMBLEM AND MOTTO those who, with right purpose enter her halls of learning. Her established tradi- tions, herhigh standards of excellence, and the hearty cooperation of all con- cerned, includingFaculty, Student Body, the Board of Education, the Alumni, and the patrons and constituants, have been most conducive to the strengthen- ing of character, to a realization of the proper conception of life, and to in- spiring all to nobler efforts. The traditions though few, are fixed. The custom of staying by the institu- tion till the highest laurels are won is established. Many colleges have fail- ed to maintain high standards of scho- larship because they have encouraged young men and women to finish their college training at larger institutions of learning. But the time has come when one who leaves to finish such courses as are offered here, can hardly hope to receive better advantages. The value of completing courses of study here, under the leadership of a faculty whose reputation among leaders of large universities is established, is evi- dent. Four seniors won their degree in 1910, ten in 1911, ten in 1912, and by the end of this sunnner term seventeen of us shall have gained possession of parchments which stand for years of strenuous efforts. The total of all who have won the degree of Bachelor of Arts is forty-one. Thirteen women and twenty-eight men. lt is incum- bent upon our worthy successors that they keep up this increase of the num- erical. ratio, which evidently will have to be done by stealth or strategy. We have every reason to believe that in years to come there will be a constant growth in numbers and in strength. To accomplish what is considered worthwhile has developed in the stu- dent body the power of achievement. The friendly rivalry in the inter-class debates, the victories of the inter-col- legiate, the public literary programs, the illustrious bogus faculty of April 1st, all go to show the power of utiliz- ing various capabilities for public good. The health of the student is by no means the least concern. The athletic field with the vigorous but healthy ex- ercise of the body contributes its share in preserving strength and keenness of intellect. Valuable service has been rendered to the institution by student enterprises in decorating, adding volumes to the li- brary, presenting chandeliers, mottoes and pictures, beautifying the campus
