MESSAGE TO 3 . 3 CfineerS Twelve years ago the inquiry of two young men into the possibility of getting the prerequisite courses to the second year of Petroleum Engineering at Oklahoma led to the setting up of a Petroleum Engineering course at Mount Royal equivalent to the first two years at Oklahoma. The Engineering School at Mount Royal was under way. But other inquiries followed. Could Mount Royal College give the prerequisite courses in other fields of Engineering? Investi¬ gations were made and found that it was possible. Now a student may leave Mount Royal College and enter any Engineering Course at Oklahoma in the third year. Students who return generally report favorable progress. We get a great deal of satisfaction in hearing this. We want everyone who leaves Mount Royal College to be a success. That is why we make every effort to cover the preparatory work thoroughly and set a high standard for results. We expect great things from this class and want to keep in . touch with as many as possible in the future so that we can measure the quality of our part in each student ' s preparation. R. W.

e65a e 5L 2 , ' ean d Let men only consider: It they would apply only a small portion of the infinite expenditure of latent time and fortune now given to matters and studies of tar interior importance and value, to sound and solid learning, it would be sutticient to overcome every ditticulty. ■— Francis Bacon, Novum Organum (1620) Now that Mount Royal College is approaching the close of another academic year it may be well for us to remind ourselves that, while separate terms may come to a close, the process of learning never does end. Life in this last half of the twentieth century is far from simple and is becoming more and more com¬ plex all the time. The number of things that we have to know in order to comprehend all the things that go on around about us is tremendous. Without some sense of direction and some underlying principle of action we would be quite confused and. entirely unable to cope with modern life. The actual purpose of education, as a consequence of this situation, is to help individuals to discover for themselves principles of action and of living. We are very much inclined, in this age that is so dedicated to techniques, to think that the end of education is to learn how to earn a living. Actually the purpose of education is to show us how to earn a life. Underneath the variety of subjects that are taught and beneath the numerous activities in which you have engaged in the College is a desire to help you to find out how to live a life that is of value to yourself and the community in which you live. Thus, if you have been able to do this, you will be in a position to make some contribution either great or small to the progress of the world. For we must never forget, despite the complexity of the age and the feeling of futility that comes to us as we look at the forces operating beyond our control, that the future of the world does depend on the individual and how the individual acts. We wish for those of you that will be with us next year a greater insight into what education attempts to do for you. To those of you that leave us this year we commend the thought that continuing education throughout life is one of the most important needs of the day. VC J. COLLETT PAGE 14 MOUNT ROYAL
