... a tiny spark something unexplainable which makes Park College a little bit different from any other place, something which makes students swear they never want to see the place again and then come back, something which they recognize enough to complain when it is in danger of being extinguished, something which can easily be cheapened and finally smothered by the rush and throng o f the world with its values set on expediency and conformity, a spark which can be kept going only so long as there are people who are not satisfied with having things just handed to them but will keep asking questions and seeking solutions to the problems that disturb them.

Its members establish policies concerning the curriculum and instruction, take measures proper for the advance¬ ment and protection of college interests, confer degrees and help raise money for the college. It is through the efforts of these men that much of the work, not always discernible to students but important to the college as a whole, is done. Page 7
