THE COLLEGE THE INDEPENDENCE JUNIOR COL- LEGE, although still the youngest of the jun- ior colleges of the state, has taken its place among the permanent institutions of colleg- iate instruction. Under the competant guid- ance of Professor Risdon the college set its stride during 1925-6, and the second year has seen a continuation of the spirit of the pio- neers as well as an improvement in several directions. At present the Junior College can already look back upon a good record of scholarship and upon a fairly successful ac- tivity in an extra-curricular way. Several changes were made in the faculty for the second year. Mr. E. R. Stevens, the new principal of the high school, became the now dean of the college, thus transferring the direct administration of the college from the city superintendent's ofice to the high school building. This, of course, has its ad- vantagesg but it places a heavy responsibility upon the shoulders of Mr. Stevens, who su- Page 4 pervises the senior and junior high schools as well. However, Mr. Stevens has proved a capable administrator and the junior college has operated with increasing smoothness and success. Other changes in the faculty were the ad- ditions of Messrs. Kirby and Klassen, who both filled places of resigning instructors, and Miss McGaffey, who came in as seventh member. The addition of the latter as an assistant in English and instructor in Ameri- can government made it possible to handle satisfactorily the increasing number of col- lege students. Among the college students, whole-hearted- ness and seriousness have been the prevail- ing characteristics. From the start the I. J. C. had placed the emphasis on scholarship, and it now can be said that with us not athletics, but intellectual development, is upheld as the paramount goal. -Loren Salisbury.
