Dean Dean Oyer has passed to his spiritual abode, but his life continues to live on in the hearts and lives of all with whom he came in contact. He was a man, calm and deliberate, devoted to the duties of his office, yet sincerely concerned about the spiritual welfare of every student on the campus. He was a firm be- liever in a virile, aggressive Christianity, putting into living experience the teach- ings of the Sermon on the Mount. With no thought of reward, he endeavored to live the life of a true follower of Christ, and to demonstrate that Christianity is practical. His life is a challenge to all who have had the privilege of knowing him. As an educator he supported a program of high scholastic achievement. with the fullest development of the higher life of the student as its goal. Goshen College will always cherish the memory of Dean Oyer as one whose influence, strong while living, is but multiplied in death. May his ideals and objectives continue to be the program of the college of which his life will always be a part. -THE EDITORIAL STAFF. sf v 9' 11 xqv ig' a'c . 3 25, as s '41 Y..

President The young men or women who have been brought up within the religious environment of a Christian home have much to be grateful for. The heritage of a deep faith and piety is not to be considered the least among the good things young people get from such a home. In this particular time when much that in the past has been esteemed and honored is being challenged and ideas of what constitute the fundamental things are in a flux, some sure and steadfast anchor- age is greatly needed. An attempt to rationalize all that comes within the range of human experience or observation will result in disappointment. The only satisfying solution to the problems of life lies in a simple. humble faith in an all-wise Providence whose ways are past finding out but who through the long ages has not allowed one of all his good promises to fail. -SANFORD C.
