IT has ever been a salient fact that Monmouth students and alumni, as a body, were loyal to their alma mater. It is not at all remarkable that such should be the ease. Those of us who are here at present, and those who have preceded us. know well what op- portunities Monmouth College has for one who seeks the best things. But we can not forbear mentioning; that occasionally we have heard fellow students who were anticipating a de- gree from Monmouth speak dispar- agingly of their college. We are sure that only thoughtlessness could have permitted such dangerous remarks. To suggest any other reason is to im- ply non compos mentis. Monmouth does not arrogate to itself a classifica- tion with the New England universi- ties, nor does she claim to offer equal advantages with wealthier denomina- tional colleges throughout the East. But we do maintain that no college of- fers better educational facilities com- mensurate to the expense entailed. Monmouth is certainly lacking in some things which provoke the super- ficial observer to brand us behind the times. But the indication which de- termines we are up to the times in the broadest meaning of the term, is the full appreciation by the colleg-e authorities of these very deficiencies and their earnest effort to supply the need. This embarrassment will be in a great measure retrenched in the in- crease of endoivment and building ' s already in sight. We. as students, must once for all learn that the surest and quickest way to elevate our col- lege to the rank which we would like to have it. is to never fail to praise its possessive merits and never seek to hold forth its weaknesses. A word from a student as an advertisement is worth more than a ton of catalogues and printed matter. As Monmouth
