TIHN Hi iHl MUHTHN illl. Eillllii A PLEASURE, RARE BUT REAL This year, T937-1938, l experimented: l actually registered as a student in a sophomore class ol Morton vlunior College, and l Hcarried the coursel' both semesters. Yes, l vvas a regular student: l criticized the excessive amount ol collateral, l thought a test was unfair, l was called on unexpectedly, l lost my boolc, l did an assignment at the last minute-abut l lil4ed the vvorlc and the instructor. More than that, l lilted the class' afthe Fellowship, the friendliness, the discussions of class and college affairs, the plan vve devised to stall the recitationf, the helpful advice given me for a coming examination, the study in the library'-'hand the sincerity and conscientiousness on everybody,s part that signifies my classmates are men and Women Whom l am proud to l4novv. To be one of uusl' students in my own college was a pleasure, rare but real, and one l am happy to remember. WALTER B. SPELMAN A message to the students of the junior college? What better message can l give than l-luxleyls live-pointed conception ol an education? UThat man, l thinlc, has had a liberal education, who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant ol his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the vvorlc that, as a mechanism, it is capable ol, vvhose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength, and in smooth worlcing order, ready, lilce a steam engine, to be turned to any lcind of work, and spin the gossamers as well as Forge the anchors of the mind, whose mind is stored with a knowledge of the great and fundamental truths of Nature and ol the lavvs of her operations, one who, no stunted ascetic, is lull of life and Fire, but whose passions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience, vvho has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. , J.
