The Presidenfs Message To Tins STLIIlEN'l'S AND PATRONS or Mclvlumw CoLLlac1s, Gfuse'r1Ncs: lVIclVlurry College comes before its widening and growing constituency with L1 record of continued growth and development that is an inspiration to those who are responsible for its management and should be to its friends and patrons everywhere. This achievement is the result of close and efficient work by a faculty that is second to none among the institutions of Western Texas, and is without precedent. The management of MclVlurry College conceives that the highest work of any school today is in the training of character and in the development of manhood and womanhood. It is the endeavor of the institution to send out into the world people who personally know God and are, therefore, best equipped to lead in the work of church or slate. We deny that it is just as necessary for a boy to know the fundamentals of an automobile as it is that he shall know the fundamentals of an English education, and we further assert that it is even more important that he shall know the fundamentals of Christian living and service than it is that he shall become an expert in either of the other two. Though we are firmly convinced as to the necessity of training and educating the mind of the student, we, nevertheless, realize that the way of salvation is not by the universities but over an old hill called Calvary. And because we believe this, we invite West Texas to send its young people to this institution that they may be properly trained and equipped for a definite service to their fellowman, and may some day become polished shafts to be shot from the bow of Cod into the quivering heart of the world. To the students going out of the institution, bearing their degree, the President wishes to extend his special wishes and prayers for a laudable and successful career. To patrons and students: We greet you in the name of our one Lord and Master, who is the great Teacher, even Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the Holy Ghost and of the Virgin Mary, the supreme offering for the sins of man on Calvary. Sincerely your brother, J. W. HUNT. Nineteen
