SJ st st ir ot es U- 'e f . ent .ent ary lrer PIQESIDEIXITS MESSAGE Teachers College is rich in tradition and accomplishment. lt is the out- come of many fine contributions by many fine people. Worthwhile insti- tutions are built in this way. lt is not fine in a material sense but rather in a spiritual sense. Material things crumble and decay but those of the spirit are eternal. They grow finer with the passing of years and are handed down from generation to generation. They serve as an in- spiration to the new student and a source of satisfaction and pride to the graduate. Sometimes we work so close to the institution that we fail to appreciate its strength and virtues and it is only in retrospect president L C. Bond that we appreciate its true signifi- cance. You have had an important part in accomplishing and maintaining its excellent record. The same ideals of loyalty, devotion and achievement which you have developed in the college will accompany you in all your undertakings and to any institution in which you may serve. The chief business of education is to equip you with those habits, attitudes and ideals which will help you to adjust to the world in which you live. ln so doing it should enable you to obtain the greatest measure of satis- faction and happiness for yourself and for those with whom you associate. These habits, attitudes and ideals emerge as a result of four years' association with your fellow students and faculty members. lt is said that in a large institution the student goes through college but in a small institution the college goes through the student. lf this be true you are having a maximum opportunity for growth and development. During your college career l hope you will develop a philosophy of life. lt is quite essential to your happiness. lt will come as o: result of much living and experience. lt will help you to make the most of your opportunities, and to live courageously, with kindness and consideration of others. ln helping others you develop strength. Perhaps the following quotation from William l-lenry Channing entitled Ulvly Symphony will help you. To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich, to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. ln a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the com- mon. This is to be my symphony. T51

His ever-directing helpful influence is felt in every activity of the school, be it student, faculty or administrative. LOUISE ABNEY Speech lf the dos and don'ts of etiquette are puzzling you, you need search no longer. This poet, Writer, lecturer, traveler, and above all else, charming college instructor is Well versed in such matters of society. She is only too willing to give of her limited time in the interest of the college and its students. , ELIZABETH CANNON Music Between teaching the do re mi's and denying reports of romance, Miss Cannon fairly flies from one teaching center to the next, encouraging aspiring student teachers. It has been rumored that she likes to play piano duets but is unable to find an ambitious college partner. LUCY CLOUSER Education y One of the most versatile members of our faculty is Miss Clouser. After fulfilling her none too light teaching schedule each Week, she still finds time to entertain most charmingly, to give much helpful guidance in the editing of the Scout Bi-Weekly, and to care for her chief interests -oh, don't you know?-her beautiful cats.
