GREETINGS We are rapidly approaching the mile stone of another year and as we look back over the past year we have many things for which to be grateful. Despite the financial depression and other factors over which we could have no control our attendance has kept up in a most gratifying manner. There has been no tendency on the part of the institution as a whole, its faculty, or its stu- dent body, to give up our ideals and purposes. Your Alma Mater was born of a pioneer spirit of progress in Education. She has endeavored to maintain high standards in quality of work and at the same time render a wide service to all who have sought to enter her portals. Our graduate division has made a splendid beginning and is now well organized. The enrollment for graduate work has excelled our expectations, having up to date reached 197. Eleven states and twenty-seven colleges are represented. A well trained corps of teachers is handling this work. As I view the institution in all its relationships, it has one ideal and that is to advance, not retreat; and to continue to serve our state and other communities in the most efficient manner. As the Dean of the College I appreciate the co- operative spirit of faculty, student body and alumni and greet you as friends one and all with one common purpose, namely, K. S. T. C. first. G. W. TROUT, Dean of the College.» PAGE 25

GREETINGS “Beyond the horizon of tradition and routine” will be the portion of some whose eye will scan these pages. “To the pioneers” is a fitting dedicatory inscription for any college annual. College halls welcome youth because youth has eyes which see far and clearly into days yet unborn. Youth has ears which catch the challenge of silent powers yet unbound. Youth accepts the hazard of the undefeated and disillusioned which maturity declines. The birthright of youth is the vision of service, accomplishment and comradeship. A long time ago I read the sentence, “Blessed is he who is the Columbus of his own soul.” Here’s a Godspeed to youth, the pioneer spirit of tomorrow and tomorrow’s tomor- row. MRS. HATTIE MOORE MITCHELL, Dean of Women. PAGE 27
