They met discouragement and improved their rich opportunities. They builded for the future. Now, that lonely group of huts has changed to a city of handsome buildings and pleas- ant homes. The confused noises of a busy town now rumble where that axe stroke sounded. The rude log school which housed its eager few has long been gone but in its place stands Knox, a college tested by struggles, endowed with the power of its founders, rich in the varied experiences of busy years. It was a happy college which celebrated its seventy-fifth birthday last June. Loyal sons and daughters, old and young, gathered from far and wide to honor their alma mater. Sister colleges all over the land paid tribute and their fathcrly presidents and professors moved among the family gathering. All week the campus hummed with the glad activities while the echoes of the Jubilee spread to far and distant lands to inspire thoughts of praise in the minds of friends and to awake happy memories in the hearts of absent sons and daughters.
