The high moral tone of the social life has been guarded with jealous care. The various activities of this phase of stu- dent life have brought about ties of friendship which bind us to each other, ties which time cannot sever. Class spirit, the spirit manifested by the rep- resentatives from the several states though secondary issues, have played their part in molding the body into a homogeneous whole. More funda- mental than these, however, were the common interests which had to do with the vital life problems that faced us. 7 The religious spirit, a tradition which has fixed the high standard of devotion and which is vital to the insti- tution, was seen in all the activities of the college. Every Bible study, every mission-study class, every hour of devo- tion in the Y. P. C. A. gatherings, every chapel service has received the loyal support of the students. Nor have the efforts in revivals and in de- veloping Christian manhood and womanhood been in vain. By comparing all these phases of religious activities with those of eleven years ago, in the Elkhart Institute, we note with joy the marked progress which has been made in more extensive Christian service. The practical application of Christian life in service beyond the borders of the institution for the up- lift of man is a most encouraging fea- ture. Therefore, Integrity, Loyalty to the institution and Faithfulness to our God has become the watchword. Never has a prophecy been more truly ful- filled than the sublime words l1JLtQI'Gil by one who is considered the father of this institution when he said, 'fWe are thrilled with pleasure as we paint in our mental vision the beautiful picture of a multitude of young men and wom- en going out from this institution, the mind stored with knowledge, train- ed to make the best of all their facul- ties, possessed of a will to do right that will acknowledge no defeat, armed with a character that will never shrink from maintaining true principles, a trust that relies solely on the favor of God for success . The principle of manhood and womanhood in the full- est sense of the word has become a tradition and a part of every life in the institution. Through the wisdom and foresight of the management, the sympathy and en- couragement of the patrons, the loyalty of the alumni, and the benevolence of the donors, the high standards of ex- cellence and the splendid advantages offered have always characterized our college and have been stimulii to the very best effort and development on the part of each student. Nor have the students been unmind- ful of their responsibilities. Each has taken his place in whatever would make for the welfare of themselves and all who might become their successors. lt is needless for me to say in behalf of our own class that we are proud indeed of the place we hold in this organiza- tion. We wish to express our grati- tude to the student body for their hearty support during these years of struggle. We are indebted to the Jun- iors for their kindness, their coopera- tion and loyalty. We have tried to lead out in such lines of usefulness and progress as would enhance the inter- ests of the school. We are loathe to leave. We step out of this, our Alma Mater, as sons and daughters leaving the parental roof. We have endeavor-
