Twenty-eight legend... ln the heart of a youth there a dream-the dream of a brilliant future in the hands of learned min 1B bi f at 1. ut e- tween that man and the youth there hung a darkness that his eye could not penetrate, ln patience he waited-uittil the blackness, pierced bv a rav of hope, parted and there d b f opene e ore him a door-a door to a Christian College. The youth left his plow to enter its portals, and there he mingled with others from the hills and the vallevs, the office. and the schoolroom. Scarce had he found his place in their midst, 'ere a shovel was thrust into his hand, and und was born one day a vision For weeks it was onlv Her the watchful eye of the masters he began to dig in the earth. For firm must be fthe foundation they said or the structure will will not endure. Thus the youth labored through the winter and on until the spring and the time of flowers. Deep down to the rock he dug and there he laid for him- self a foundation. lrlpm nk About thirty-five years ago a group of leaders of the Nlennonite Church, en- dowed with the spirit of progress that is the life-blood of any live organization, conceived and brought forth a new institution of higher learning, to be known as Goshen College. Founded upon the high ideals and rich tradition of lvlennonite history, the college began at once to have a definite influence for good in the lives of the young people who took advantage of her opportunities. As time Went on, the institution grew in size and scope of influence. The diflicultics, reverses, and defeats of this early period were many. The leaders of the movement, being only human, erred. and at times lesser things impeded progress. But finally Christian courage and true faith endured. Today Goshen College wields a far-reaching influence for good in the lvlennonite Church, in the community, and indirectly, in whatever commun- ities those, who have been associated with her, live. Goshen College boasts no million dollar building program. no acres of shady campus area, no reputation as a contender in intercollegiate sports, and no expensive buildings or equipment. Not that some of these things would not be desirable, but her aims have been higher than these. Her motto, Culture for Service, is evidence of the fact that she has always clung to a policy of first things first. It is this policy which has made it possible for her to wield such a positive influence for Christian living. Her glories are not seen embla- zoned in the headlines, but rather in those lives which have responded to her influe ence-Richard Blosser . . . The junior class entertained the freshman class at a party held in the gymnasium on Friday evening, September 16. About ninety members of the classes enjoyed the evening playing games and getting acquainted . . . On Thursday evening the Freshman class presented the after dinner program in the dining hall consisting of a piano solo by Elinor Smith, ia reading by Lena Custer. and two members bv a men's quartet--Ernest lkliller, Richard Yoder, Dwight Yoder. and William Friesen . . . Dim light, warmth, cheer, easy chairs--'an indescribable silence, then each mind drifted home--East or West. Suddenly the beautiful strains of the Minuet in G brought us back to experience with Beethoven his Romance in F, Moonlight Sonata, Selections from Fifth Symphony, one Selection from the Seventh Svmphonyf' Varied themes, color, and moods, ranging from the tender touch of the f'Moonlight Sonata to the dashing color of the Seventh Symphony took us into realms of sheer delight. The last sweet strains faded into nothingness: fContinued on page S4-I
