OF THE PEOPLE. The Wisdom of the gov- ernment is no smarter than the wisdom of the governed, was the subject for President R. G. Brook ' s annual address to students. Know all there is to know about your product, because your life depends on it, and tomorrow may be too late. These words sum up the philosophy of Ralph G. Brooks, school administrator, teacher, lawyer, former college debater, and for- mer national champion orator. He received his A. B. degree from Wesleyan University in 1925 and his A. M. degree from Nebraska University in 1932. He also attended the Nebraska Law school. Mr. Brooks ' professional affiliations are Diamond Degree of Special Distinc- tion in both debate and oratory in Pi Kappa Delta, Delta Sigma Rho, Phi Rho Pi, National Forensic League, American Academy of Political and Social Science, Phi Delta Kappa, Schoolmasters Club, and the American Bar Association of Colleges and Universities. Mr. Brooks was McCook ' s Boss of the Year in 1953. He is past president of Nebraska Schoolmasters Club, and past district governor of Lions International. Educator, Lawyer Shows the Way He has been superintendent of schools — Cedar Rapids, Hartington, Wymore, Audubon, Iowa, and McCook since 1947; he has also served as president of Mc- Cook College since 1947. Mr. Brook ' s oratorical ability and al- ways-appropriate practical advice have made him the most popular speaker in town for students and adults. Interested in government himself, he encourages students to study well all facts of local, state and national politics. Among other things, he emphasizes the importance of knowing one ' s own abilities and limitations. The more you learn, the more you realize what you do not know, he advised students. FIRST CONVOCATION. Mr. Brooks addresses the students and faculty of McCook College at the first all- school convocation last fall. Here he emphasizes the importance of interest in government.
