QUESTION There is a challenge in my inner scul, that bids me rise To Truth; nor dabble in the petty things of life, The base, the false, the lures in common guise, Nor let myself be bound about by prejudice of some former and now useless strife; I would not build my soul upon the glimpsings cf a vain nearsighted mind, Nor let it cower in the shades of idle pre-existcnt ties, Accepting thus the meagre measurings of what the multitude can find, Nor deem myself thus satisfied with what I can despise, Nor feel my courage falter at the thought of living deeply, And shrinking from a future in unpleasing guise, I chasten all ambition by holding life so cheaply, That in a universe thus full of beauty and inspiring might, I slowly sink to traffic in the lesser purposes of men, Of greed, or lust, or selfishness, or petty spite, Which blight and dwarfen into puniness a God ' s triumphant plan, Enslaving ideals known and loved, in response to some false sign, That leads aside seductively, as only falsehood can, From all emotions that are grand, or exquisite, or fine; But I would not seek the vision of a larger kingdom for my soul, And gain dominion in the lofty motives of a God created earth, Exalting reason to transcend its highest goal, And sieze the great, the good, the constancy of universal worth, That I may bind my sense of what is true and perfect as a guide, In flaming past the common circumstance of life and act, And make my deed with my aspiring vision coincide, While fancy and ideals thus magnify their service in achieving fact, And blend a whole existence into one supreme design. — . J. B.

it EK DEAN MILLS When Dean Arthur Wald took a year ' s leave of absence for study in Spain, the position of acting dean of the college was entrusted to a man who has been connected with the History department ever since Mil li kin opened her doors in 1903 — Albert Taylor Mills. It is in the work of that depart- ment that he has lived and worked in the building of a real masterpiece. When the college was in need of a dean he served, as he would have ministered to any other need of the institution, with his whole heart and soul. Bean Mills has concerned himself this year with much more than the tech- nical duties which necessarily pertain to the deanship of a college. He has guided Millikin through a most successful year. His high ideals of purposof ulness have developed with the growth of Millikin through the years he has worked per- fecting his own department. He has realized the needs of the institution through insight born of contact, and this year has been the fruition of his efforts due to his past experience as a leader in education. In his own words, with his characteristic modesty, he has given a few of his aims. To promote discussion touching student welfare and sug- gest legislation, to liberalize student opinion, freeing it from prejudice against persons or courses of study, to build up individual self esteem among the students, to support the educational zeal of the faculty, and to strive for college solidarity in the process of learning and character building. And we who have witnessed the working out of these aims would say that he has accomplished all he intended and more; for it is as a kind counselor and a personal friend that we shall re- member him. He has contributed definitely to the traditions of the deanship of the University. He has shown himself to be more than a dean of men. His leadership may well be credited with a larger number of true educa- tional achievements in the way of constructive faculty legislation with a real view of the Millikin ideal than any other administration has seen. The deanship of 1922-23 has established some real traditions — tradi- tions worthy of consideration, appreciation and emu- lation. Twenty-two
