While nationally famous and much in demand everywhere, President Young still finds time to be a real friend to all Park College students. His active interest in student affairs has made us feel that he is not so much a man to whom we give our problems for solution, but rather a man with whom we can work them out. A college president holds a position of special responsibility in these trying times. It is to him that students look for guidance. Our president has Proved him¬ self equal to the occasion, for he has faced the issues squarely and taken a sensible, constructive point of view. The war has produced unusual con ddions for college students, and President Young, with his timely advice and Christian counsel, has kept us thinking sanely. , , , f With such a man as Dr. William Lindsay Young at the helm, the fortunes of Park can hardly go amiss, and we can re.st assured that, when the war is over. Park College will be more powerful for the test.

But it is this group that holds the final authority over College policy, and these men are giving their services to maintain an active, Christian, Park College. To them our deep appreciation is due for the fine spirit with which they faith¬ fully serve our school.
