There is probably no environment which at its best is more conducive to the discovery and development of great per- sonalities than that of a Christian college. The positive response of students day by day to the lure of the highest and best is one of the keenest delights a teacher can ever experience. The crying need of the world for new ventures of faith is a su- preme challenge. Should we not there- fore labor together to the end that our campus may become increasingly a center from which will be carried around the world those influences and practices without which there can be no hope of human progress? CHAS. S. MORRIS. Dean of Men. Our philosophy of life and education is now determining what we shall do and be tomorrow. And, therefore, since the future grows out of the present, the best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today ; the best preparation for life in the hereafter is to live life at its highest and best now. From the point of view of society this means that every educative agency in an ideal democracy seeks to foster the continuous growing of each through the growing of all, and the growing of all through the growing of each. J. G. MEYER.

Education is not a superficial gloss obtained by bluffing or cramming one ' s way through a learned curriculum. Rather, it is self-attained. A willing mind and persistent effort are prime req- uisites. A college degree is of value only as it is attached to a superior man who honors it by the quality of his ac- complishments. Manchester College strives to de- velop the student in an intellectual, cul- tural, and moral atmosphere which will enable him to attain the fruits of. an education. CARL W. HOLL. 1 It has been said that every success- ful life is marked by industry, by refine- ment, and by character. The best men and women are faithful workers; they are fitted to enjoy some of the best things in life ; they are clean, wholesome, up- right, and are of service to their fellow- men. The best rule for success is to keep growing in industry, refinement, and character. Such growth is the chief business of the young people of Man- chester College. ALICE A. DONER.

mm mmm I- SAMUEL MOHLER. President WILLIAM SIMON, Vice-President BEULAH HOLL, Secretary MYRL ALEXANDER, Treasurer The Student Council is the legislative group for the Associated Stu- dent Body. There are sixteen members who are representatives of the different units on the campus. It is the duty of the Student Council to have general supervision over student conduct. It is their privilege to establish traditions such e.s Homecoming and May Day. This year they are providing for a new college song. The Student Council, at the request of the student body, appointed a commission to inves- tigate conditions in the Social Room. As a result we have a more commodious Social Room. On alternate Fridays the chapel programs are in charge of the Council. These programs have been found to be very helpful by lending variety to the chapel exercises, as well as providing an avenue for student forensic development.
