Buildings are desirable but not essential. Plato. Socrates, Jesus Christ, and all the great inspirers of history are remembered because of the effects they produced on their students and followers. So a college is tested by its products, its alumni and former students. Given a competent faculty and an eager receptive under- graduate body-men and women of note are the inevitable result. Knox College is far behind its sister colleges in equipment, but it has had for over three- quarters of a century teachers of the right sort and students who meant business. As a result, no middle-western college has an alumni body more famous, none has more of its graduates listed in Wl1o's Wl1o , none could provide more material for an alumni section in the college annual. There are tens of thousands of people in our country who have no idea where or what Knox College isg who know famous Knox alumni. In journalism, in law, and business and nearly every other activity of life, Knox men and women are listed among the leaders. It is quite fitting that the Gale, which lists the undergraduate achievements of the year, should devote a section to honoring some of our most noted alumni. The difficulty has been to pick and choose, and no attempt is made here to list only the most noted, selections have been made of those who have achieved prominence in various fields, with full realization that scores of other alumni, perhaps hundreds, as fully merit inclusion in this section. One of the most hopeful signs for the future of Knox is the renewed interest in her wel- fare shown by the alumni, through the Knox Alumnus, the Alumni Association, The Alumni Council, and the large share which the alumni are taking in the Endowment Campaign. This section of the students' annual shows that the undergraduates are just as proud of our alumni. as they are of the college. JAMES L. BICCONAUGHY Knox College 97 -4
