ADMINISTRATION The advent ot this publication heralds the end ot another year tor McMurry College, its thirty-tirst session. As you go into the summer months, some ot you to return tor the tall and those ot you who graduate to take your place in the community; there is a dis- tinct service you might render your Alma Mater. McMurry College needs to in- crease its student enrollment and you. the present student body and exes, are the ones who can do it. This year the freshman class had a thirty percent in- crease over last year. We would like to continue that increase each year until our enrollment reaches about eight hun- dred. It each one ot you would pledge yourselt to try sincerely to get one new student tor the tall, we would in one year reach our goal. Why not show your loyalty to your Alma Mater in this way? Sincerely. W. B. McDaniel Vice-President What is education? Some would say that it is the assimilation ot all knowl- edge. the knowing ot tacts, an ingather- ing ot information. Some would answer that it is the acquisition of skills, the de- velopment ot talents, the learning ot trades and techniques. Others would de- fine education as the developing process ot all the social instincts, the apprecia- tion ot music, literature, and general culture. True education, however, is more than these; tor in the final analysis, it is the unfolding ot man's realization ot his responsibility to his fellow men and his proper relationship with God. Gordon P. Bennett Executive Vice-President 17
