DEDICATION . . . PROFESSOR JOHN S. UMBLE John Sylvanus Umble was born near Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, on February 16, 1881. The years of his service to the Mennonite Church have been highly beneficial to its young people. His interest and efforts for our well being and happiness continue today, and we who are directly influenced take this opportunity to express our appreciation to him with this issue of The Maple Leaf. At Goshen College we are receiving the fruit of John Umble's long and extensive educational experience, both as a student and a teacher. His training includes Kingscreek High School, Ohiog Elkhart Institute, University of Wooster: Goshen College: North- western University, University of Chicago, Garret Biblical Seminary: University of Coloradog and the University of Minnesota. B. A and M. A. degrees were received at Northwestern University. In 1910 European travel and study were undertaken. His Fields of study have been German, Latin, speech, English, and literature. This prepara- tion led to teaching in an Ohio elementary school: Northwestern University: Mt. Vernon High School, Indianag South High School, Akron, Ohio, and Goshen College. Such a record cannot portray his character, but it does indicate the rich background that we benefit from academically. At present Professor Umble teaches English and literature. He also takes a keen interest in the debate activities of the college. He is secretary of the college. But his activities also include a broader' service in the form of historical writing His studies and contributions fill a niche in this area. At his home on the corner of College Avenue and Main Street, Professor Umble pursues his hobbies of gardening and photography. His granddaughters are a favorite subject for his camera. The rock garden and lawn plantings you see when passing by are the work of his hands. But john Umble will often come over to his college office or the library, for more study and writing that will aid and inspire young people. We dedicate this issue of The Maple Leaf to John Umble, a friend and helper of youth. page twelve

The world's greatest Teacher once said that to really live we must give away our lives. Taking this as their standard our professors have given their years and life energies in invaluable service to the school and to us personally. How fitting our motto is-Cul- ture for Service. Service is not an easy goal for it demands much and often appears to give little in return, but ambitious youthfind it a challenging, purposeful one that gives an enduring Worth to life. Uur professors and administrators demonstrate by their lives the actuality of prolonged service. Buildings may deteriorate, but service is alive forever. Service
