The PRESIDENT ' S Mess The Indiana State Teachers College has a two- fold purpose. The first of these is to prepare well educated citizens for a democratic society and the second to prepare those who are to be responsible for the education of others. The fulfillment of these purposes offers to teacher education institutions everywhere, and to the State Teachers College at Indiana In particular, an opportunity to b e of real service to the Common- wealth and the Nation. We accept here the phi- losophy of Elbert Hubbard who once said, HHe Is best educated who is most useful. It Is not our purpose to offer a cultural educa- tion In order that a select few might better enjoy a life of ease or in order that the more fortunate might dominate those whose educational oppor- tunities have been limited. Rather, we hold to the high purpose that educational values may be best measured In terms of their usefulness to others. In the preparation of those who will teach others, education for usefulness reaches a citadel. In that spirit has this Institution been founded. In In that same spirit should Its graduates look for- ward to a life of service to others. Take a Letter, Please -13-
