Kansas City, whose commercial fame extends to every corner of the globe, and whose governmental difficulties are equally notorious, forces those who are training themselves to solve her problems of com- merce and government to secure their education apart from the environ- ment in which they are to labor-apart from the problems which they are to solve! The solution for the situation is so simple that its neglect is a reve- lation of Kansas City's unpreparedness for future greatness, yet time after time she has had opportunity to act, and has rejected it. The hour is now come when Kansas City can no longer hope to evade the issue. Her sons and daughters of college age recognize the need and are bearing home their realization upon those in authority. Kansas City must have a University. , It is, then, with the utmost confidence in the judgment of the voters of the School District of Kansas City, that this volume of the Junior Col- lege Yearbook is dedicated to them. But far fro-m allowing the matter to rest there, the student body of the college has dedicated itself heart and soul to the education of the electorate in the urgent character of Kansas City's need for a University. Thus, with a consecrated and con- stantly growing group of those who realize the need, we hope and pray for an early consummation of our dreams, and we do not hesitate to prophesy, that the year 1930 will see a fully equipped institution, worthy of the great city in which it is located, drawing its student body, not only from the homes of our own city, but from all the quarters of the globe.
