Dr. Gordon Bennett Executive Vice-President I should like to compare the well dome of uy worth- while task to tie proper laying a4 a stone in a wall We recognise that it each stone is properly cut. laid straight, balanced and well mortared, the wall will be straight and strong. Likewise, when we romplrtr each assignment, prop- erly relate each social engagement, discharge every re- sponsibility. and properly perform each task, we build cliaractrr straight and strong My wish for all of you is that as you review the memories of this year, you will find your character wall straight and strung. Dr W. B. McDaniel Administrative Vice-President First. I want to congratulate the staff ot this publication for the excel- lent performance exemplified on the pages of this book Tne representa- tions herein of the various happenings of the college year will be a pleasant reference for tlie entire student body for years to come. Secood. I want to ask you. point- blank. what is college ftw. anyway? The purpose of a true liberal educa- tion is not to cram students with facts in order to teach them to earn a living. A Christian College strises in- stead to teach its students how to live, rather than how to earn a living. We must first help each stm lent to find himself as an individual, then we must help him lose himself in interests, causes and ideas larger and more en- during than himself. If we as ad- ministrators and faculty members can lead you as students to grow uito the I at «iciest, deepest, and most vital per- sons possible, then we will have made your college attendance 'sell worth- while.
