ACTING PRESIDENT E. W. STANTON

Page 10 text:

Qu Qppretiatinn EVER is any generation given the wisdom, the perspective to judge aright the men of its time. This holds true even though judgment be passed in the kindliest spirit possible. We, of the present college generation, can scarcely hope to give fitting appreciation to our President, E. W. Stanton. We shall attempt the task in all sincerity of purpose and with the kindliest spirit. Whatever difiiculties may beset us, of this we are sure-that no man connected with the Iowa State College has a more genuine college spirit than Dr. Stanton. To realize what this implies we must understand what college spirit really is. College spirit is an evasive, intangible term. It carries with it great signincance, yet defies concrete definition. This much we know, that true college spirit signifies deep and abiding love for the institution, a love that is willing to find expression in the sacrifice of time and strength and energy that the interests of the institution may be better served. It implies unselfish devotion to ideals that lead ever upward and onward. It implies consecration of abilities, mental and spiritual, towards the upbuilding of an institution that will better serve men and women. College spirit, then, signifies much, for only as a college serves in the truest sense the students who come seeking guidance and uplift does that college deserve consideration at the hands of men. A college is more than a mere collection of buildings and shops and laboratories. These are but material-the concrete evidences of existence. The real college springs from truth, sincerity, and goodness as expressed by a facultyg from aspirations, genuineness of spirit, and whole-souled enthus- iasm and vitality as expressed by the students. President Stanton has served long and faithfully the institution which he loves. Acquaintance with succeeding college generations has given him a broad View of the needs of college men and women, has made him realize, as no one of a younger generation can realize, what of life is sham and tinsel, and what is pu1'e gold. Future generations will know more truly the real worth of the man. Such knowledge must await the fulfillment of time. This is the appreciation of the present college generation: President E. W. Stanton-a man who is genuinely good, a man who has given the best years of his life to college men and women, a man who has the true college spirit in the highest and best sense of the term.

Qu Qpptetiatitm QW HE State Educational institutions of Iowa are to be congratu-V ID Z lated upon the outcome of their Hrst legislative experience un- AKQ 1 der the new Board of Education. This Board was created for the purpose, among -its other duties, of determining the fi- nancial needs of these institutions and presenting those most urgent, to the Legislature. The Board did thisg a joint committee of the Senate and House reviewed their askings and approved themg the appropria- tion Committees made some slight re-adjustment of the special requests for buildings and land but otherwise increased rather than decreased the total amount recommended, and the General Assembly adopted the budget by unanimous vote. The result shows the confidence of the Legislature in the good judgment, fairness and integrity of our governing Board and its Finance Committee. SCh0911fg0I1- Leavitt. Holbrook.
