The 1930 Maple Leaf SANFORD CALN'IN YYODER, BA.. LLB. President So important and vital in our life and thinking is a true conception of God that no young man or woman is in a position to make any far-reaching decisions on life's problems until they have first settled their relationship with their maker. To do so may, at any inconvenient period of life or at great loss, necessitate a complete change in one's program of living. It may involve set habits of thinking, a revolution in method or what is more difiicult, a change in vocation altogether. The transfer may be made more difhcult be- cause one may become so enmeshed in social relationships that retreat is impossible. Consequently, educators sciences but they must above all he touch with God through a faith in opportunity but a challenge to every as well as to every man and woman in human life. To slight one's duty responsibility for the highest cause must not only instruct in the arts and able to lead their students into a living Christ Jesus. This presents not only an Christian institution, and every instructor that knows the place and power of God in this respect is to evade a most sacred that man can espousz. , f Ollfleen

teen The 1930 Maple Leaf if - ' 1 .-f' fi NOAH OYER. Th.B Dean Who is the liberally educated person? We turn almost instinctively to the scholar and the thinker for our reply-men who have laid foundations for broad, deep, accurate and well ordered knowledge, men who can reason and can properly relate and evaluate truth. And yet who has not known men of scholarly attainment, minds that functioned with mathematical pre- cision, of whom it must be said-- they are not liberally educatedf' They are lacking in human sympathy and appreciation. In education as in the Chris- tian Religion, a humble mind is a quality that is demanded of all who would Renter into the kingdom. I-lumility is not the passive, spineless quality of character it is so universally thought to be. It consists rather in seeing one's self in the proper perspective. The humble soul is conscious of its powersg it is strong, confident, courageous. But it is also conscious of its limitations, and herein lies its great strength. Such a soul cannot be vain, arrogant, coarse and self-centered, but finds its best expression in a noble altruism.
