and His Message Within a Radius HE very location of Linfield College makes it a center for the Northwest. If we are to think of Linfield as belonging only to Oregon we are too far in the North. But, draw a line four hundred miles north, four hundred miles south and four hundred miles east and you discover that we include all of the territory from which our students come. It is true that we only touch upon Idaho and likewise only touch upon Cali- fornia. Montana and Utah are included in what is called the tri-state area so that as far as our denominational affiliations are concerned we include all of the states from which we draw students. It is a challenge to Linfield perform- ance and ideals to have to be responsible for students from this great territory of the Northwest. We are rightfully asked, 'iWhat contribution is Linfield making to the civic, educational and spiritual progress of this great territory? Our alumni are scattered all over the United States but most of them reside withf in this four hundred mile radius. We are proud of the positions they hold in civic, business, educational and religious leader- ship. The real question addressed to all the readers of this volume of Oak Leaves is the following: ls each one of us going to pull his share of the load or are we to be a drag on the progress to which Linfield is pledged by her history, her tradition, her religious affiliation and her program? How are you going to answer that question? ELAM J, ANDERSON. President. 19

The President R. ELAM J. ANDERSON, who gives strenuously of his time and en- thusiasm for the furtherance of Linfield in the whole Northwest, deserves more than casual recognition for his effort. Under his supervision Linfield has risen from a small, unknown school to a prominent force in higher education claiming full recognition, as accredited in the Association of American Universities. 18 The President
