We hear a great deal in these days about char- acter training in our schools and colleges and well we may for that feature of training can scarcely be overemphasized. One is reminded in this con- nection of the curt and drastic dictum of that great educator and statesman, Woodrow Wilson, who once said that character is the by-product of duty done. Self-respect is basic in character and one cannot build self-respect and character on the basis of slip-shod Work. In view of the fact that most people are extremely anxious to get the most for their money in any market it is rather amazing that some students President Roy Ellis . . born Seymour, Missouri, March 9, 1888 . . STC student 1909-1911 . . A.B. and B.S. in Education from Missouri Uni- versity, 1914 . . A.M. from Har- vard, 1917 . . Ph.D. from Colum- bia, 1930 . . married . . has one son. endeavor to get as little as possible for their money in school and still get by. If one is an artist at getting by he may be able at times to deceive even a very clever teacher as to his achievement in learning. It is lamentable that he should deceive his teachers but it is tragic that he should deceive and cheat himself. In the silent chemistry of events the relentless law of compensation will strike the balance sooner' or later. The World has a way of catching up with those who base their hopes upon the shifty philosophy of getting by. Whatever is worth doing is Worth doing well. ROY ELLIS.

l COUHCII FACULTY The Faculty Qouncil, composed of the departmental heads, is one of the oldest and most active organizations of the college. 'It owes its origin to custom and not to any direct pro- vision of law of administrative ordi- nance. It makes recommendations to the faculty on many matters of I l l l l l I major importance and handles a multitude of administrative details on which the President of the faculty feels that a variety of opinion and a group judgment may be desirable. It is in effect the executive committee of the faculty. mv-W' n A P Temple, Science, N. Bertha Wells, Dean of Wolmen, Fla-y T. Burgess, Home Economics W Y Foster Education, Virginia J.
