, Z.. ac! film S nvf K1 mn a 4, In this space, I am afforded a long wanted opportunity to express heartfelt apprecia- tion of the many affecting evidences of friendship, sympathy, and effective cooperation on the part of the students, faculty, alumni, and deans of Morton Junior College. We must recognize, appreciate, and consolidate these gains in order to precipitate an orderly irresistable advance along the entire front of understanding and cooperation as against ignorance, superstition, misunderstanding, prejudice, shortsightedness, bigotry, narrow-mindedness, and hypocrisy. K Advanced training for high grade living in the America of today and tomorrow must include rich and manifold experiences that lead to tolerance, sympathy, empathy, per- ception, and cooperation. YVhile college life and its variety of interrelationships and associations rightly involves the issuance of many answered and unanswered social and intellectual challenges, in Morton College these are both sharpened and softened by the concomitant healthful atmosphere composed of mutual helpfulness, mutual admiration each for the strength of the other, and a general tolerance for our common weaknesses and our inevitable mistakes. Our community, our clubs, our councils, our teams, our faculty, and our adminis- tration question and challenge one another. This is as it should be. Morton education is cooperation leading to a broader understanding of, and a more intelligent participation and leadership in, the life and activities of the larger group. W. P.
