I love her professors; I be- lieve in her students, in their desire for the best and their ability to realize it in their life. I believe it is my duty to support Tarieton in everything; not to be blind to her faults but to set myself to their eradication; not to expect of my school any higher conduct than of myself as an individual, but to make my conduct conform to the highest ideals. I believe the hand of Providence is clearly discerncxble in Tarleton's history and that full recognition and place should be given to God in our school life. eA STUDENT. ADMINISTRATION Decm F C.
