Miss Ellen T. Gould Dean of W omen In the first prospective of Rockford Seminary we find this statement: A regular and faith- ful supervision will be exercised over all the habits of the pupils and a proper regard to health, the discipline of the intellect, the regulation of the moral feelings, the due observance of religious duties urged as the ultimate object of life . Expressed differently, these purposes might represent our aims today. We, too, desire that four years at college shall result in both outward and inward growth. We expect each student to leave with perfect health; her physical forces trained and serviceable; her mental gifts developed and disciplined; her moral nature enriched and dominant; her religious convictions clarified and expressed in service. We want her college experiences to enable each girl to enjoy life more fully, and to contribute in some definite way to the enjoyment and good of others. The quest of the scholar is truth; the foundation of character is truth; the only basis of a stable existence is truth; nothing is as sacred to the mind as its integrity. With such principles intelligently accepted and loyally adhered to, we expect Rockford students to discriminate between true and false values and in a changing world of changing standards maintain a poised and com- petent womanhood.

President William A. Maddox Rockford College has the dignity of age and tradition. It. too, looks to the future as a high adventure. It has to many of us long held the promise of becoming the ideal small college of the west. In its growth and development since the YVorld W ar we have a hint of the greater fulfillment of that promise just ahead of us. There is significance in the term small college . Here great- ness is not confused with bigness, for we have courage enough to limit our enrollment to four hun- dred students. This is often called the ideal number. The reorganization of our curricula to meet the needs of modern women and a changing world has attracted the attention of experts. We are devoted to education as an art. Rockford may yet have the distinction of working out the curricula — the organization of courses which the whole college world is groping for — that will mark us a progressively modern but truly liberal arts college. But the real greatness of any college lies in its teachers, trained men and women, who, though grounded in knowledge, take their inspiration from life and transmit their enthusiasm to their students. My ideal for Rockford College, therefore, is that it grow not in number but in extending its borders in curricula, in the spirit and quality of its work, and in attracting to its faculty more and more those types of scholars whom vou in after years may acclaim the great teachers of your youth.
