THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEE ilnnmmith OInUrp. : 0 HE greatness of any college rests not in its buildings and l|J, equipments, but in the faithfulness and loyalty of ito alumni and students. As an institution of learning Monmouth College is truly great, for her influence extends throughout the world and everywhere may be found persons who are always interested and actively engaged in the further- ing of the Greater Monmouth College. At the time in which this institution was established, the Monmouth of 1912 was but a dream beyond expectation. It was an ideal of an enthusiastic nature, and in its development it has been assisted by similar ideals of other minds. While its growth has been slow, it has always been steady and encouraging. The endowment fund has been increased and placed on a firm basis. Following the fire of 1907 which destroyed our main building, the friends and supporters im- mediately came to our aid, and thus were secured Wallace and McMichael Halls, fitting memorials to two of our former pres- idents. At the present the great need is that of a Dormitory, and in the guarantee of the funds necessary for this new build- ing the authorities are striving to accomplish this result. In the future as in the past, Monmouth College will con- tinue to fulfill the mission for which she was established, to furnish the brand of education for which the world of today is demanding, — reverent, unselfish, self-sacrificing; its ideal, the Man of Galilee.
