JOSEPH F. MERRILL Commissioners Message M? E are living in a wonderful age, the most splendid, the most glorious of all time; an age in which man is master to a degree greater than ever before of the forces of nature; an age in Which the Winds and waves and storms are harnessed, as it were, and made to minister to the needs and comforts of man: an age of ever recurring miracles, many of them more mysterious, and awe-inspiring than some of those recorded in holy writ; an age in Which through his accom- plishments man exhibits almost godelike achievements, banish- ing disease, staying the hand .of death and prolonging life; an age in Which science has truly become exalted. And so ilwhat is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou Visitest him? nFor thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. liThou madest him to have dominion over the works Of thy hand; thou hast put all things under his feetf' Though these are manls accomplishments, his potentiale ities, yet he is of the earth, earthy and Will remain so except he realize there is uno excellence Without eternal Vigilance, lino achievement Without effort. To the young man or woman Who Wills it there is a great future. Joseph F. Merrill. Mg 23 152;..-

F. Y. FOX Presidentls M essage III IFE is just a succession of hellos and farewells. We met but yesterday; today we work and play together; to- morrow we take divergent paths. But We cannot be wholly separate. Happily or otherwise something of what I am will dwell in your memories, and in my reveries something of what you are will be inextricably interwoven. Your going would be the harder to bear were it not for that indefmable Spirit of L. D. S. that ever abides and gives continuity to our sojourn in these sanctified halls. It will be the mission of those of us that remain to preserve the rich traditions and promote the noble purposes of our beloved Alma Mater. An equally bind- ing obligation is laid upon you who leave. It is your duty to carry the fine Spirit of L. D. S. into the colleges that you will enter, the homes that you will make, the businesses that you will promote, and the countries that, as ,God's messengers, you may be called to Visit. In full confidence that your future activ- ities will reflect honor upon your school, we bid you good-bye and good fortune. F. Y. Fox.

Faculty NE of the elements which go to make up faculties of MD schools of any state is that element of youthful spirit which actuates all teachers. Youth is not measured by the calendar, but by the love, the enthusiasm, and the sympathy which teachers show toward the new generation. Youth is vitalizing quality; youth makes the world go round. The LattereDay Saints College is fortunate in having a group of sincere teachers who are youthful in spirit and enthue siastic in activity. They are continually bringing into their teaching new thoughts and new ideas to use in stimulating the hearts and the minds of the students who are here to work, to grow, and to develop, that iinally they may become leaders in the coming work of the world. To realize what splendid work our teachers are doing, one needs but to see the help which they give each day. , This boy is helped to find his place in life, and that girl is taught to recognize true worth. The Spirit of Youth seems to permeate the whole school. Teachers are young because they work with Youth; students are young because they are Youth. The two combine to give to the school: activ- ity, direction, life, energy, and enthusiasmethose qualities which make the world young and hopeful. The days of youth are filled with buoyant, animated hours. Youth is a time of laughter, when life looks up and the sun is always rising. School days are happy When youthful teachers meet eager students in joyous associations. We have been happy here. When We leave our school we will miss the smile of this teacher, the sympathetic heart of that one, and the pleasant story and the helping hand of another one. We say to these teachers, who have won our love and your respect: We appreciate your direction, your love, and your help. We shall always remember you in connection With the Spirit of Youth.
