ADMINISTRATION Have you ever experienced the joy and adventure of mountain climbing? Have ycu ever knotted a slim, strong rope about your waist and ' with a group of other tourists, entrusted your life to a brawny, stern-faced guide that you might see the marvels of mountain glacier and snow-clad peak? You remember perhaps, how falteringly, how cautiously you crept upward along the Alpine heights behind your sure- footed conductor. How you admired his ease and poise as he fearlessly climbed the perilous precipice or leaped the deepest canyon! Perhaps you remained on lower levels and watched him venture more daring feats among the cliffs of crystal splendor. At any rate you will ever remember this strong, kind person with deepest gratitude for the mag- nificent wonders which he, at the risk of his own life, laid before your view. There were other guides too, who led people over different paths to view other scenes. Each peak had its peculiar character, each path its own unique experience. Doubtless those guides were not serving merely on personal responsibility but were members of a larger group, a larger organization of which you scarcely realized the existence. This was an organization created for the purpose of supplying, in addition to guides, other needs and conveniences of mountain climbing. It had placed inviting road houses and other kinds of shelter along the route which did not detract from the scenic beauty but only added to the enjoyment of the tourist. Every day we employ the services of far more valuable guides, yet how often we fail to appreciate their efforts and the importance of the perspective they show us. We place in their hands our mental lives, and trust their guidance along paths of learning much more fruitful than those of mountain heights. It is the Millikin faculty who thus devote their powers to the guidance of our mental and spiritual development. They, like the mountain guide, constantly give the best of themselves that they may share with us the advantages of their broader knowledge and richer experience. They have attained those greater heights and higher peaks of learning that we only dream of reaching, yet they are glad to assist us who struggle on the lower levels. Here, as in the mountain ranges, there are various trails to choose. Some lead towards literary goals, others to scientific or commercial ends, but all offer visions of opportunity and of enriching experience Here, too, a higher administrative organization furnishes buildings and housing facilities which correspond to the shelter huts on the mountains. Every material want is attended and our paths of college life are made ac- cessible to the highest attainments. It is to them, our college guides and the educational system they represent, that we give this small tribute. We know that we cannot truly express our appreciation for we do not fully realize it ourselves Our appreciation will linger and grow long after we leave Milhkm, anrt we shall never cease to reap the benefits of their scholarly influence and their friendly interest.
