J, Dl-.RTHlClv Ex-officio member of all committees, Dean of Women, Assistant to President, Member of Classification committee, Di- rectress of Boarding Department. President and Mrs. Henry J. Derthick were called to Milligan College six years ago. For twenty years they were in charge of church schools supported by the Christian Women ' s Board of Missions. Their aim has been to lift Milligan College out of her indebtedness, provide buildings and equipment ; increase the faculty ; and standardize the course of study until her position in the college world should be assured. This is being accomplished in a measure beyond the dream of the most sanguine. President Derthick inspires his friends with confidence and the worthwhileness of the work, and convinces them of their duty to it. Thus, the program goes forward. Mrs. Derthick, by her commanding personality exerts a powerful influence for good as Dean of Women. One of her girls says she fits Wordsworth ' s lines, A perfect woman nobly planned, to warn, to comfort and command. One of President Derthick ' s favorite words is peptomism which he defines as optimism at work ; truly, optimism at work at full speed is his very equivalent. With these vigorous and enthusiastic personalities and with well-defined purposes for growth and development, we may confidently expect Milligan to go forward along all lines. Page Twelve

Chairman of Athletic Committee. Member of Classification Committee. Must we resort to words to describe a man who embodies the spirit of Milligan, who portrays the essence of loyalty, fidelity and true worth? Indeed, words are inade- quate. To the students of Milligan Col- lege, Dean Boyd, is not only the polished scholar, but the very impersonation of high ideals, and all that is noblest and best in human character. Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend. Surely Dean Boyd is Milligan ' s truest friend. MAURICE BERTRAND INGLE, A. B. Kansas Christian College, A. M.
