i, is Message FROM THE PRESIDENT Some years have passed since the dragon became the symbol For the Moorhead Teachers College. This year for the first time The Dragon becomes the title of the college annual. Thus, The Dragon is the mirror in which the passing show of college life is reflected. These reflections are caught and fixed in story and picture. The annual serves as a boolc of memories and a history of events, and-it is to be hoped-a guide for other generations of students. The Teachers College is just beginning the second Fifty -years of its existence. The filitieth anniversary celebration last spring was an occasion For the review of a halt century of growth and development. It marked the end ofthe pioneer epoch. The institution is no longer remote nor isolated. It is part of a state and national system at .public education. its graduates must compete For leadership with the best endowed youth of the land. The leaders of the past have left a legacy in the 'form of traditions and ideals of scholarship and character that must be conserved and brought to fruition. With the new complete physicalplant-and with the Senior college recognized by accrediting agencies may we not say that a new epoch is just beginning? The answer rests with the students of today and tomorrow. It is not enough that the institution should be a standard institution, it is essential that it be distinctive in its service to students and society. The task of the Moorhead Teachers College is to develop leaders-open-minded, diligent, forward-loolcing citizens- young men and young women who have caught a vision of the world made betterthrough consecrated effort.

'Ghese Help MAKE COLLEGE LIFE EASIER A responsible position indeed is that which Miss Jennie Owens, registrar, and her assistant, Miss Beatrice Lewis, hold as members of the college faculty. The registrar's office does, in a certain sense, form the nucleus of all official activities. All credits earned, records of scholarship, schedules of courses, fees, degree and diploma credentials are filed in this office. To help make the abrupt change from home life to college life easier for the incoming students-that is one of the many duties of Miss Mabel Lumley, Dean of Women, and Dr. C. P. Lura, Dean of Men. Assisting in this respect are also Miss Millie Dahl and Miss Elsie Hurdle, House Directresses of the two modern dormitories for women, Wheeler and Comstock Halls. As Secretary to President MacLean, Mrs. Phoebe Vowles plays an important role in the college administration. Besides these secretarial duties she supervises the Student Exchange, which includes the postoffice, supply and service bureau, as well as general informal headquarters for all students.
