PRIESIDICNT NV.fxr.'l'1ak Dru. Sc0'r'r THE GREATER NCRTHWESTERN NE does not need to believe in Astrology to admit that those persons are peculiarly for- tunate who entered high school in 1926, and who will graduate from college in 1934. No period of eight years ever offered greater opportunity for human development. Only mild exaggeration is exercised when we speak of the first four years as the whoopee period and the second four years as the period of despair. During the first four America reveled in its profits, and in the second period it mourned its losses. During the first we sought liberty approaching license, and in the second we sought protection and assurances. Training restricted to either one or the other of these periods would of necessity be narrow and inadequate. The Class of 1934 has enjoyed the privilege of being trained in two of the most stimulating periods ever made available by Father Time. Northwestern University has met the needs of superior students and has trained them to live useful lives in every environment and in any epoch. There is no over-emphasis on either the cultural or the vo- cational. Every course offered in the university has both a cultural and a vocational value. That there is no contrast between learning that is old and learning that is new is demonstrated by a very large percentage of electives both in Greek and in Social Sciences. There is no over-emphasis of any field of human learning. There is here no contrast between science and religion because we believe that each is benefited by every progress of the other. Athletics, social life, and many other activities, are encouraged but they do not interfere with the highest academic standards. Your Alma Mater will deserve the name of The Greater Northwestern so long as she remains true to her original aim of service, whether that be in training students, in increasing human learning, or in serv- ing the manifold needs of civilized society.

They are not sustained without watchful attention by their caretakers. The bul- wark of their system is their undergraduate body, upon whom devolves the duty of enriching the foundation on which the University stands. The Trustees depend to perpetuate the traditions and ideals of the University on them. In this year of 1933 there are many problems facing the administration by the Trustees. They are confident of Surmounting them with the loyal sup- port of the students and the Alumni. JOHN H. HARDIN OFFICERS JOHN H. HARDIN, Prerident MARK XV. CRESAP, Vice Preridefzt EDWIN S.
