. iiii aU QRAQgf..... The name of our college is not indicative of its sentiment, for lleidclht L is patriotic in every sense of the word. Last year when war was declared inani of the men left immediately to enlist in the army and navy and at least scycnlx five left school to enter training camps, work in munition factories and on farms. Truly there were no slackers in the response to the Nationis call. This year opened with numbers depleted, men gone from every class, but those who returned came with a conviction that their highest duty was to prepare themselves for a greater work which must follow in the wake of destructive war, or, that they might be more efficient should they be called to carry the musket in the struggle for a safe democratic world. The depletion of our numbers has made the tasks heavier for us who remain in school but none have grumbled nor faltered in the path of duty and a cloud of seriousness never before known overhangs and permeates all. Sev- eral of our fellow students are already in France, many are in training camps and many more will soon leave, but they have all gone and gone gladly, knowing that their Alma hflater is behind them heart and soul. They hesitate not to perform the sacred duty and, if some must sacrifice, even their life blood, it will not have been in vain in a cause so noble, to bring perpetual peace and to make a world safe for posterity f ,x ' 1 X Kitt , , .

One of the best practical answers to this question is the fact that you never find a man who has a college education regretting it, while there are hundreds and thousands always telling their disappoint- ment that they never attended college. It often happens that men in middle life, and even beyond, start to college in the hope that they may yet recover something of the loss they feel. Now there must be a reason for all this. Whenever a group of college people get together they have the finest fun. They talk over the old college days as if they were different from all other days. And certainly they are different. No experiences like the college experiences. No days like the college days. , The reason usually given first and no doubt the most inclusive reason Why one should go to college is because it is every one's solemn duty in this world to make the most of himself and it is through education that this is accomplished. To be alive is a serious thing. To have the faculties and powers of mind and heart with which we are all endowed lays upon us at once the obligation to develop and perfect these faculties and powers. There is no escape from this responsibility. The best product of the college must always be the graduate himself. Not primarily what he knows or what he may be able to do, but what he is will always count for more than anything else. To cultivate, refine and liberalize the human spirit must ever be the aim and task of the college. This is the chief and certainly a sufficient reason why one should secure a college education. One cannot afford for his own sake to be anything less than he can become. There is no substitute for a thorough college training. Aristotle once said: lt is a shame I1Ot to be educated for the educated differ from the uneducated as the living differ from the dead. A second consideration is one's usefulness in society. Here again every one owes the best he can give. Society has a right to expect this and he is a slacker who fails to give it. Judgment is swift upon the man who tries to hide his talent. It is not a question of one, two or five, but of making the most of what one has for the good of others. One may not know what his special task or calling in life is. Certainly the Creator has given to every man his work. But what is it? Here the college renders a big service to young people. While in college they find out what their peculiar ability is-what they were intended to be and to do. They discover themselves and this must precede any great success in life. Those who come to college not knowing what they are to do in the world will find out before they graduate. Many who come with their plans all made have them completely changed because while in college they discover what they really are best fitted to do. This is one of the big things in a college experience. Of course there is a financial reward. It pays in dollars and cents to go to college. Not only the professions but all big business is now asking for the college graduate. The army is seeking him too. His value for the big tasks which required the trained mind is just beginning to appear. He is being generously rewarded for his ability and his service. All this will be increasingly true as th: years pass. Without doubt the college man will be in greater demand than ever when this awful world war ends. Now is the time to prepare for the times which are surely coming. DR. C. E. MILLER. 26 I I I I l1l.It.If3!5I liffll 111
