Faculty Many times each day we have sought guidance from members of the faculty, seldom realizing, however, the magnitude of the task which teachers must take on — the great responsibility of instructing all students in subjects which will benefit them throughout life. By them we have been directed toward high ideals, and each lesson learned becomes a step forward toward the intangible but long sought- after goal of achievement. It has been said that “Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touch- ing them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of wa- ters, you choose them as your guides, and, following them, you reach your destiny.” —Carl Schurz
