No longer does a smattering ol' lilreuch and music and painting satisfy the American girl genuinely interested in an education. The true college girl is con scious of world needs. conscious ot' her ottn latent potters. and amltitious to make her contriltution in tlte field of endeavor hesl suited lo her otttn natural gifts. Athletics appeal lu her. All sorts ull outilool' sports attract her. for they suggest phtsical fitness necessart tu her success regardless ul' the character of her special undertaking in life. The real college girl feels tlte need ot' learning to think. lahorious though the process may lte. Nett situations cannot he ntel lat' intuitite perception or hy any hard and last rules. The proltlems of the American home. of the new economic status of ttomen. retptire all the ltraiu potter she can possiltlt develop. As she attempts ln knott herself. she finds that she is possessed of a love for the lteautiful and that in lter soul is a response to the aesthetic. As her judgment matures. this fondness for tlte lteautiful is satisfied not ltt' merely superficial things ltut ht' the lteauties in nature. literature. and art. As her philosopht' of life develops, her tearning for happiness finds satisfac- tion in the things of the spirit: so into this realm she ventures in order to secure the rich. creative life that pats dat' ht' day in contentment and satisfaction. For the real college girl rich are the returns on the investment of these four ltesl years of her young life. af? -X Dean of llvorrzen 'I'tt'ent y

Morningside has always heen a vision splendid to those who have wrought their lives into the huilding of the institution. The Trustees. Faculty. and Alumni have planned together and in their thinking have never stopped with the immediate pres- ent. but have laid plans which have reached down through the years. Many of their visions have heen realized. hut still others represent a program for future achieve- ment. Increased attendance. enlarged campus. the development of its curricula. new huildings, increased endowment. and the maintenance of its high standing are all a part of the program. All this. however. has to do only with the material part of its existence. Of vitally more importance is the spirit of the campus. The ideals for which the institution stands are represented in the life of its governing force and of its student hody: not things material hut ideals. around which are gathered hopes. aims. and amhitions of thousands of young men and women who come under its influence and feel the touch of its great heart. Morningside College. as an ideal. shall ever he near and dear to its immediate constituency. and these shall extend its inlluence to the ends of the earth. lJfI'SIifIl'I1f Nineteen

is 551322 PM ttisiiiaalm The acid test of the efliiciency of a college is its graduate product. For about thirty years Morningside College has been engaged in the fine art of developing manhood. and the records attest the quality of her contributions ln society. The Christian college has a Herculcan task imposed upon it by virtue of its high ideals and objectives. It must upbuild and mold life by setting in motion new trains of thought. quickening the hner sensibilities. and tiring youth with a passion for the largest possible service to the yvorldf' This undertaking involves no less than the integration of the whole man in his physical. mental. social. and spiritual relations. Our college has accepted this challenge. As students and faculty. we cannot escape the obligation of making Morningside a center of quickening intellectual comprehension and expanding Christian ideals. The spirit of true sportsmanship and Christian service must be brought into the foreground nf every college activity: the Y. M. C. A., athletics, forensics. glee club. and fraternities. Then character shall be the keystone of our arch of victory. In this materialistic age we need men as real men such as Holland describes in the words: God give us menl A time like this demands Strong minds. great hearts. true iaith. and ready hands: Men who possess opinions and a will: Men who have honor. men who will not lie: Tall men. sun-crowned. who live above the fog ln public duty and in private thinking. 772.?3.jM,Za, Uculi of ,llwn Twentyvout
