President ' s Message to the Quittapahilla IN THESE days of depression when the colleges can no longer guarantee a man a job at the end of his tour years, the question is often asked, Why go to college? What has the college to offer that will be of value in later life? More regrettable than to have an education without a job is to have a job without an education; or, still worse, to have neither a job nor an education. It is platitudinous to say that an edu- cation assists not merely in the making of a living but in the making of a life. In prosperity the educated person both lives and makes a living; in depression, when he becomes the victim of involuntary unemploy- ment, he is enabled to crowd into his extended periods of enforced leisure socially approved and individually profitable pursuits: he has an adequate stock of stimulating ideas, broad interests, satisfying emotions, and many inexpensive pleasures which permit him to live more abundantly than his illiterate neighbor. For the uneducated man has, during the days of prosperity, been living by bread alone, and now, reduced to poverty, he accepts his status as a recipient of public relief with a blighting acquiescence that spells no growth in intellectual stature gained during long hours of leisure, no lifting of the soul to higher cultural or spiritual levels. The worst thing that the depression has produced is a widespread loss of the sense of social responsi- bility; the best result has been the rediscovery of those enduring spiritual values that transcend material goods and creature enjoyments. Today all accept the idea of sharing; unfortunately, too many think of it in terms of getting and not of giving. Even the colleges are embarrassed by this current social philosophy. Regardless of their financial abihty or the fitness of a particular college to provide suitable facilities for their higher education, students are going shopping for the largest concessions, asking competing college presi- dents: What inducements can you offer me? To such a question every college that is worthy of the name replies as did ex-President William DeWitt Hyde: To be at home in all lands and all ages; to count Nature a familiar acquaintance and Art an intimate friend; to gain a standard for the appreciation of other men ' s work and the criticism of your own; to carry the keys of the world ' s library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever task you under- take; to make hosts of friends among people of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life; to lose yourself in generous enthusiasms and cooperate with others for common ends; to learn manners from students who are gentlemen; and form character from professors who are cultured — this is the offer of the college for the best four years of your life.
