WHAT THE PUBLIC EXPECTS OF THE COLLEGE GRADUATE By Frank S. Arnold, D. D. What does the public expect of a College, and up to what standard is a Student expected to measure, with spe¬ cial reference to Park and its graduates? What the populace expects is wide of the mark, for the untutored world has many vagaries on matters educational. But, in general, the thinking, reading public seems to have decided on about three definite lines of measurement for a graduate—he must have a certain amount of book knowledge, a good deal of character, and a large portion of common sense. People will even forgive the evidence of the lack of the first; they will not forgive lack of the other two. The man who measures up to a marvelous height in the languages may achieve a reputation—and be a joke. The public wants more evidence of a career than a subjective knowledge of vocabulary and syntax. That is, people expect College Students to be Men and Women. They think learning ought to be the instrument of personality; that education i s a means, not an end. Person¬ ality can use knowledge, but learning without personality is like Saul’s armor on David—out of proportion. Students should get the idea that they are expected to lead, and should learn to fit into the environment. Conceit is a poor thing, but a sense of responsibility with the conscious¬ ness of a fair equipment tones the mental life, and enables a man to take his rightful place at the front. Park Students have made their way, and will continue to do so. In general, the discriminating mind that knows the Park environment will expect its students to be religious and sterling men and women with a worth-while ring. If they achieve the honors of learning, that will be incidental. What is expected is the bone and sinew of vital moral and religious force, the stuff that makes good among the seething masses of mankind. Not specialties and fads, not cloistered knowl¬ edge, nor pranks of genius, but sensible, well-equipped, well- balanced leaders in the great world’s work—this is what is expected of the graduates of Park College.

Not because it is a great institution and not because it is a renowned school, but because it is mine, and I love it. Out of the great world’s need, it has been given as an answer to a definite cry. I believe in her purpose—to aid students who are earnest in their quest for knowledge. I believe in her faith which dwells on the mountain top of vision, while she labors below in the valley of realities. I believe in her past—in her wonderful heritage of Trust and Sacrifice. No college has come into its present through longer hours of pain and prayer, and none revere the memory of lives more self-less or more consecrated than those whom we call the founders of Park College. I believe in her loyal Alumni which belt the world in grateful remembrance and homage to her. I believe in her present—in the efforts and worth of her now. I believe in her vine-clad walls and turret-crowned hills; I believe in the glad sunshine which tints a-glow the homely things of the campus and makes them more beloved. I believe in her buoyancy and grit. I believe in the work she does with her hands ,and in the dignity and joy which she finds in physical labor. I believe in the enthusiasm and fun of college days and in the songs that are sung. I believe in the rare flowers of friendship which blossom at her blessing. I believe in Park’s future—in the unborn years of service and achievement of which we know not; I believe in her students which are to come. I believe in God and man, and in this Faith is my belief in Park sustained. id mo D !n D in n n D D D D D D a a D D D D a D D D D D D a D D D D D D D D D
